ANNOTATION.

BUT the Syphon, here mention'd, being else∣where made use of, it may be requisite to Observe: First, The Pipe which bends so much, is made of Metal, to make it less subject to break: Secondly, The End of it, which is joyn'd to the Stop-cock, must be a little wider than any other Part, to admit the Shank of the Stop-cock: Thirdly, The Cement which joyns the Brass Pipe and the Stop-cock, being apt to be loose; I rather make choice of one, to which a Stop-cock is fix'd, together with a Glass Syphon, about 10 Inches high, (see Plate 5. Fig. 2. where the whole is represented). And tho' this Additional Glass makes the Experiment longer, and more te∣dious, yet it is more useful and secure.
