'tis poſſible for Water to be eaſily turn'd

<

have formerly taught that there lurks an

interſperſed Air in the pores of ordinary

Water, which may poſſibly be ſtruck out

by the breaking of the Water in its fall

into the Æolian Chamber, (as he calls it.)

ſent that Chamber as cloſely ſhut, and

thereby forbids us to ſuppoſe that any Air

is carried into it but what is latitant in the

ſo ſmall a room, to make ſo vehement a

have ſometime therefore ſuſpected, that
