but for a great while we ſcarce ſaw one
<
lb

bubble appear, onely when the Receiver
<
lb
/>
had been very much exhauſted, and the
<
lb
/>
Water was fallen very low, there appear'd
<
lb
/>
near the bottom of the Tube, certain
<
lb
/>
little bubbles, which ſeem'd to conſiſt of
<
lb
/>
ſuch parcels of Air as had not, by reaſon
<
lb
/>
of their ſmalneſs, got up to the top of
<
lb
/>
the Water, with the more bulkie and vi
<
lb

gorous ones. </

<
lb

conſiderable, is, That having, by letting
<
lb

in the Air, forc'd up the Water into the
<
lb

Tube, we could not perceive that it aſ
<
lb

cended nearer the top, though we per
<
lb

mitted the Engine to remain unimploy'd
<
lb

for two or three Nights together, and
<
lb

watch'd whether the Water would ſwell

up and fill the Tube. </

ſion I remember, that having try'd ſuch an

Experiment as this with Quick-ſilver in
<
lb

ſtead of Water, in a Tube of about a Foot
<
lb

and a half long, wherein it might ſeem
<
lb

more hopeful to eſcape bubbles; yet up
<
lb
/>
on the drawing down the Quick-ſilver as
<
lb
/>
low as we could, and letting in the exter
<
lb

nal Air upon it, we found that ſome lurk
<
lb

ing particles of Air were got up to the top
<
lb
/>
of the Tube, and hinder'd the Quick
<
lb
/>
ſilver from being forc'd up again ſo high. </
