<p type="main"> <s>But to be &longs;ure to reach the chief end of <lb/>
our Experiment, we made u&longs;e of this o<lb/>
ther expedient: We cau&longs;'d a convenient <lb/>
quantity of Water to be put, and Her<lb/>
metically &longs;hut up into a Gla&longs;s Egge, to <lb/>
who&longs;e long Neck (which was purpo&longs;ely <lb/>

Receiver, after the manner el&longs;ewhere men<lb/>

convey'd into the Pneumatical Ve&longs;&longs;el, <lb/>
and that being evacuated, we did, by <lb/>
turning the bra&longs;s Stopple formerly de<lb/>

&longs;o &longs;wiftly in the Water, that their motion <lb/>
look'd like that of a violent &longs;hower of <lb/>
Rain; &longs;ave that the bubbles did not, like <lb/>
the drops of Rain, tend downwards, but <lb/>
upwards, which made me re&longs;emble this
