Beſides, ſince Air is confeſſedly en
dow'd with an Elaſtical power that proba
bly proceeds from its Texture, it appears
not what it is that in ſuch light alterations
of Water, as are by many preſum'd ca
pable of turning it into Air, can be rea
ſonably ſuppoſ'd ſo to contrive the Parti
cles of Water, as to give them, and that
permanently, the ſtructure requiſite to a
Spring. I adde the word, Permanently,
becauſe the newly mention'd obſervations
ſeem to argue the Corpuſcles of Air to
be irreducible into Water, whereas the
Aqueous Particles may perhaps for a
while be ſo vehemently agitated, as to
preſs almoſt like Springs upon other Bo
dies; yet upon the ceaſing of the agitati
on, they quickly, by relapſing into Wa
ter, diſcloſe themſelves to have been no
thing elſe whil'ſt they counterfeited the
Air.
