a certain Steam (which they uſually call a

oftentimes put out their very Candles, if

I think it will eaſily be granted, that the

aſcenſion of ſuch Steams into this or that

part of the Air, and their mixing with it,

are very like to thicken it; as on the o

ſation of the Air in another part of the At

moſphere (to mention now no other cau

from gravitating themſelves, but may

hinder the preſſing downwards of many
