A60281	The hydrostaticks, or, The weight, force, and pressure of fluid bodies, made evident by physical, and sensible experiments together vvith some miscellany observations, the last whereof is a short history of coal, and of all the common, and proper accidents thereof, a subject never treated of before / by G.S.

whereof_o two_o thing_n be_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o be_v regard_v first_o that_o the_o level_v be_v wrought_v without_o ascent_n or_o descent_n the_o best_a way_n for_o try_v this_o be_v by_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o water_n pass_v through_o it_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o little_a move_n as_o can_v be_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o one_o foot_n of_o level_n which_o the_o ground_n give_v be_v a_o loss_n of_o a_o considerable_a parcel_n of_o coal_n to_o be_v dig_v especial_o if_o it_o be_v flate_z it_o there_o occur_v any_o metal_n which_o be_v impregnable_a in_o the_o course_n of_o the_o level_n so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o follow_v so_o straight_o a_o line_n in_o regard_n the_o mine_n must_v be_v wrought_v over_o the_o top_n of_o that_o stone_n which_o be_v unworkable_a in_o that_o case_n there_o be_v but_o one_o of_o two_o to_o serve_v the_o loss_n of_o level_n either_o the_o coal_n rise_v i●_n streek_n towards_o which_o the_o mine_n be_v carry_v and_o if_o that_o be_v then_o after_o that_o stone_n be_v past_a the_o level_n must_v be_v carry_v as_o low_a as_o it_o be_v before_o it_o encounter_v the_o same_o and_o the_o course_n of_o the_o water_n shall_v not_o be_v obstruct_v because_o the_o source_n viz._n the_o coal_n from_o whence_o the_o water_n come_v rise_v high_a than_o the_o stone_n the_o water_n shall_v easy_o pass_v over_o that_o height_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v in_o some_o coal_n that_o have_v be_v wrought_v at_o the_o low_a point_n of_o their_o streek_n by_o a_o drawing-sink_a and_o the_o streek_a rise_v from_o that_o point_n the_o water_n that_o have_v come_v off_o the_o coal_n be_v in_o its_o source_n high_o than_o the_o mouth_n of_o that_o drawing-sink_a have_v mad●_n it_o to_o overrun_v and_o serve_v to_o discharge_v all_o the_o water_n that_o come_v therefrom_o but_o if_o the_o mine_n be_v run_v to_o a_o coal_n that_o after_o it_o have_v overtake_v it_o rise_v no_o high_a in_o streek_a than_o the_o mine_n itself_o the_o water_n that_o come_v from_o it_o will_v not_o pass_v over_o any_o height_n in_o its_o way_n but_o will_v be_v unquestionable_o stop_v therefore_o in_o case_n such_o a_o impediment_n can_v not_o be_v remove_v as_o many_o time_n such_o metal_n will_v fall_v in_o which_o be_v unworkable_a in_o a_o direct_a line_n the_o use_n of_o a_o siph●n_n may_v be_v try_v which_o will_v unquestionable_o supply_v the_o loss_n of_o about_o 32_o foot_n of_o level_n this_o be_v the_o height_n in_o perpendicular_a to_o which_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v water_n up_o through_o a_o siphon_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o carry_v on_o of_o level_n be_v the_o air-hole_n for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n indispensable_a in_o set_v down_o whereof_o care_n must_v be_v have_v that_o they_o be_v not_o direct_o upon_o the_o mine_n lest_o rubbish_n fall_v through_o from_o above_o ground_n shall_v stop_v and_o obstruct_v the_o same_o and_o so_o obstruct_v the_o course_n of_o the_o water_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a they_o be_v set_v down_o at_o a_o side_n their_o only_a use_n be_v to_o communicate_v fresh_a air_n to_o the_o workman_n which_o if_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o supply_v as_o i_o think_v it_o not_o utter_o impossible_a will_v render_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o coal-work_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o easy_a other_o thing_n may_v be_v speak_v to_o of_o level_n as_o that_o some_o run_v with_o the_o course_n of_o metal_n they_o pass_v through_o and_o that_o some_o run_v against_o that_o course_n and_o of_o bring_v level_n from_o the_o dip_v of_o a_o upper-coal_n which_o have_v a_o level_n of_o its_o own_o to_o dry_v a_o coal_n lie_v under_o it_o which_o can_v be_v otherwise_o do_v
