1ding of 13. it increaſed ſeptuple, and by adding of 15. octuple,
and by adding of 17. nonuple, and laſtly by adding 19. Syphons;
ſo that all the water was centuple to the water of one Syphon,
yet nevertheleſs the quick height of all this water was onely de­
cuple to the firſt height conjoyned by the water that iſſued from
one onely Syphon.
For the more clear underſtanding of all which, I have made
the following Figure; in which we have the mouth A, that
maintaineth the water of the Veſſel B C in the ſame level; though
it continually run; to the brim of the Veſſel are put 25. Sy­
phons (and there may be many more) divided into 5 Claſſes,
D E F G H, and the firſt D, are of one onely Syphon; the ſecond
E, of three Syphons; the third F, of five; the fourth G, of 7; the
fifth H, of 9; and one may ſuppoſe the ſixth of 11, the ſeventh
of 13 Syphons, and ſo of the other Claſſes, all containing in con­
ſequent odd numbers ſucceſſively (we are content to repreſent in
the Figure no more but the five forenamed Claſſes to avoid con­
fuſion) the gathered water D E F G H, which runneth thorow
the Chanel I K L, and falleth into the out-let M N O P; and ſo
much ſufficeth for the explanation of this experiment.
