A29003	New experiments physico-mechanicall, touching the spring of the air, and its effects (made, for the most part, in a new pneumatical engine) : written by way of letter to the Right Honorable Charles, Lord Vicount of Dungarvan, eldest son to the Earl of Corke / by the Honorable Robert Boyle, Esq.	Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691.	1660 (1660)	Wing B3998; ESTC R19421	166,271	430

of_o light_n yet_o it_o be_v indeed_o but_o a_o whiteness_n which_o do_v as_o have_v already_o be_v note_v opacate_v as_o some_o speak_v the_o inside_n of_o the_o glass_n next_o we_o consider_v that_o our_o common_a air_n abound_v with_o particle_n or_o little_a body_n capable_a to_o reflect_v the_o beam_n of_o light_n of_o this_o we_o may_v easy_o give_v divers_a proof_n but_o we_o shall_v name_v but_o two_o the_o one_o that_o vulgar_a observation_n of_o the_o mote_n that_o appear_v in_o multitude_n swim_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o air_n when_o the_o sunbeam_n shoot_v into_o a_o room_n or_o any_o other_o shady_a place_n discover_v they_o though_o otherwise_o the_o eye_n can_v distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o air_n the_o other_o proof_n we_o will_v take_v from_o what_o we_o and_o no_o doubt_n very_o many_o other_o have_v observe_v touch_v the_o illumination_n of_o the_o air_n in_o the_o night_n and_o we_o particular_o remember_v that_o be_v at_o some_o distance_n from_o london_n one_o night_n that_o the_o people_n upon_o a_o very_a welcome_a occasion_n testify_v their_o joy_n by_o numerous_a bonfire_n though_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o interposition_n of_o the_o house_n we_o can_v not_o see_v the_o fire_n themselves_o yet_o we_o can_v plain_o see_v the_o air_n all_o enlighten_v over_o and_o near_o the_o city_n which_o argue_v that_o the_o lucid_a beam_n shoot_v upward_o from_o the_o fire_n meet_v in_o the_o air_n with_o corpuscle_n opacous_a enough_o to_o reflect_v they_o to_o our_o eye_n a_o three_o thing_n that_o we_o consider_v be_v that_o white_a may_v be_v produce_v without_o exclude_v other_o way_n or_o deny_v invisible_a pore_n in_o the_o solid_a body_n when_o the_o continuity_n of_o a_o diaphanous_a body_n happen_v to_o be_v interrupt_v by_o a_o great_a number_n of_o surface_n which_o like_o so_o many_o little_a looking-glass_n do_v confuse_o represent_v a_o multitude_n of_o little_a and_o seem_o contiguous_a image_n of_o the_o elucid_a body_n we_o shall_v not_o insist_v on_o the_o explanation_n of_o this_o but_o refer_v you_o for_o it_o to_o what_o we_o have_v say_v in_o another_o paper_n touch_v colour_n but_o the_o instance_n that_o seem_v to_o prove_v it_o be_v obvious_a for_o water_n or_o white_n of_o egg_n beat_v to_o froth_n do_v lose_v their_o transparency_n and_o appear_v white_a and_o have_v out_o of_o one_o of_o our_o lesser_a receiver_n careful_o draw_v out_o the_o air_n and_o so_o order_v it_o that_o the_o hole_n by_o which_o the_o water_n be_v to_o get_v in_o be_v exceed_v small_a that_o the_o liquor_n may_v be_v the_o more_o break_a in_o its_o passage_n through_o it_o we_o observe_v with_o pleasure_n that_o the_o neck_n be_v hold_v under_o water_n and_o the_o little_a hole_n new_o mention_v be_v open_v the_o water_n that_o rush_v in_o be_v so_o break_v and_o acquire_v such_o a_o multitude_n of_o new_a surface_n that_o the_o receiver_n seem_v to_o be_v full_a rather_o of_o milk_n than_o water_n we_o have_v likewise_o find_v out_o that_o by_o heat_n a_o lump_n of_o crystal_n to_o a_o certain_a degree_n and_o quench_v it_o in_o fair_a water_n it_o will_v be_v discontinue_v by_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o crack_n which_o create_v new_a surface_n within_o it_o that_o though_o it_o will_v not_o fall_v asunder_o but_o retain_v its_o former_a shape_n yet_o it_o will_v lose_v its_o transparency_n and_o appear_v white_a upon_o these_o consideration_n my_o lord_n and_o some_o other_o it_o seem_v not_o absurd_a to_o imagine_v that_o upon_o the_o rush_n of_o the_o air_n out_o of_o the_o receiver_n into_o the_o empty_v cylinder_n the_o air_n in_o the_o receiver_n be_v sudden_o and_o vehement_o expanded_a the_o texture_n of_o it_o be_v as_o sudden_o alter_v and_o the_o part_n make_v so_o to_o shift_v place_n and_o perhaps_o some_o of_o they_o to_o change_v posture_n as_o during_o their_o new_a and_o vehement_a motion_n and_o their_o vary_a situation_n to_o disturb_v the_o wont_a continuity_n and_o so_o the_o diaphaneity_n of_o the_o air_n which_o as_o we_o have_v already_o note_v upon_o its_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o transparent_a body_n without_o the_o interposition_n of_o colour_a thing_n must_v easy_o degenerate_v into_o white_a several_a thing_n there_o be_v that_o make_v this_o conjecture_n seem_v the_o less_o improbable_a as_o first_o that_o the_o whiteness_n always_o appear_v great_a when_o the_o exsuction_n begin_v to_o be_v make_v while_o there_o be_v store_n of_o air_n in_o the_o receiver_n then_o when_o the_o air_n be_v in_o great_a part_n draw_v out_o and_o next_o that_o have_v exhaust_v the_o receiver_n and_o apply_v to_o the_o hole_n in_o the_o stop-cock_n a_o large_a bubble_n of_o clear_a glass_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o we_o can_v at_o pleasure_n let_v the_o air_n pass_v out_o at_o the_o small_a glass_n into_o the_o great_a one_o and_o easy_o fill_v the_o small_a one_o with_o air_n again_o we_o observe_v with_o pleasure_n that_o upon_o the_o open_n the_o passage_n betwixt_o the_o two_o glass_n the_o air_n in_o the_o small_a have_v so_o much_o room_n in_o the_o great_a to_o receive_v it_o the_o dissilition_n of_o that_o air_n be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o small_a viol_n seem_v to_o be_v full_a of_o milk_n and_o this_o experiment_n we_o repeat_v several_a time_n to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v that_o have_v provide_v a_o small_a receiver_n who_o upper_a orifice_n be_v so_o narrow_a that_o i_o can_v stop_v it_o with_o my_o thumb_n i_o observe_v that_o when_o upon_o the_o exsuction_n of_o the_o air_n the_o capacity_n of_o the_o glass_n appear_v white_a if_o by_o a_o sudden_a removal_n of_o my_o thumb_n i_o let_v in_o the_o outward_a air_n that_o whiteness_n will_v immediate_o vanish_v and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o in_o the_o instance_n former_o mention_v water_n turn_v from_o perspicuous_a to_o white_a there_o intervene_v the_o air_n which_o be_v a_o body_n of_o a_o heterogeneous_a nature_n and_o must_v turn_v it_o into_o bubble_n to_o make_v it_o lose_v its_o transparency_n we_o may_v borrow_v a_o answer_n from_o a_o experiment_n we_o deliver_v in_o another_o treatise_n where_o we_o teach_v how_o to_o make_v two_o very_a volatile_a liquor_n which_o be_v gentle_o put_v together_o be_v clear_a as_o rock-water_n and_o yet_o will_v almost_o in_o a_o moment_n without_o the_o sub-ingression_a of_o air_n to_o turn_v they_o into_o bubble_n so_o alter_v the_o disposition_n of_o their_o insensible_a part_n as_o to_o become_v a_o white_a and_o consistent_a body_n and_o this_o happen_v not_o as_o in_o the_o precipitation_n of_o benjamin_n and_o some_o other_o resinous_n body_n which_o be_v dissolve_v in_o spirit_n of_o wine_n may_v by_o the_o effusion_n of_o fair_a water_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o seem_o milky_a substance_n for_o this_o whiteness_n belong_v not_o to_o the_o whole_a liquor_n but_o to_o the_o corpuscle_n of_o the_o dissolve_v gum_n which_o after_o a_o while_n subside_v leave_v the_o liquor_n transparent_a themselves_o only_o remain_v white_a whereas_o in_o our_o case_n it_o be_v from_o the_o varied_a texture_n of_o the_o whole_a former_o transparent_a fluid_a body_n and_o not_o from_o this_o or_o that_o part_n that_o this_o whiteness_n result_v for_o the_o body_n be_v white_a throughout_o and_o will_v long_o continue_v so_o and_o yet_o may_v in_o process_n of_o time_n without_o any_o addition_n be_v total_o reduce_v into_o a_o transparent_a body_n as_o before_o but_o beside_o the_o conjecture_n insist_v on_o all_o this_o while_n we_o ground_v another_o upon_o the_o follow_a observation_n which_o be_v that_o have_v convey_v some_o smoke_n into_o our_o receiver_n place_v against_o a_o window_n we_o observe_v that_o upon_o the_o exsuction_n of_o the_o air_n the_o corpuscle_n that_o be_v swim_v ●n_o it_o do_v manifest_o enough_o make_v the_o receiver_n seem_v more_o opacous_a at_o the_o very_a moment_n of_o the_o rush_v out_o of_o the_o air_n for_o consider_v that_o the_o whiteness_n who_o cause_n we_o inquire_v of_o do_v but_o sometime_o appear_v it_o seem_v not_o impossible_a but_o that_o at_o such_o time_n the_o air_n in_o the_o receiver_n may_v abound_v with_o particle_n capable_a of_o reflect_v the_o light_n in_o the_o manner_n requisite_a to_o exhibit_v a_o white_a colour_n by_o their_o be_v put_v into_o a_o certain_a unusual_a motion_n as_o may_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n illustrate_v by_o this_o that_o the_o new_a motion_n of_o the_o fresh_o mention_v fume_n make_v the_o inside_n of_o the_o receiver_n appear_v somewhat_o dark_a than_o before_o and_o partly_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o former_o mention_v smoke_v liquor_n who_o part_n though_o they_o seem_v transparent_a while_o they_o compose_v a_o liquor_n yet_o when_o the_o same_o corpuscle_n upon_o the_o unstop_n of_o the_o glass_n be_v put_v

i_o design_v in_o mention_v the_o narrative_a i_o shall_v set_v down_o in_o his_o own_o word_n i_o therefore_o say_v he_o persuade_v myself_o that_o the_o element_n of_o the_o air_n be_v there_o so_o subtle_a and_o delicate_a as_o it_o be_v not_o proportionable_a with_o the_o breathe_n of_o man_n which_o require_v a_o more_o gross_a and_o temperate_a air_n and_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o do_v so_o much_o alter_v the_o stomach_n and_o trouble_v all_o the_o disposition_n thus_o far_o our_o author_n who_o word_n i_o mention_v that_o we_o may_v guess_v by_o what_o happen_v somewhat_o near_o the_o confine_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n though_o propable_o far_o from_o the_o surface_n of_o it_o what_o will_v happen_v beyond_o the_o atmosphere_n that_o which_o some_o of_o those_o that_o treat_v of_o the_o height_n of_o mountain_n relate_v out_o of_o aristotle_n namely_o that_o those_o that_o ascend_v to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n olympus_n can_v not_o keep_v themselves_o alive_a without_o carry_v with_o they_o wet_a sponge_n by_o who_o assistance_n they_o can_v respire_v in_o that_o air_n otherwise_o too_o thin_a for_o respiration_n that_o relation_n i_o say_v concern_v this_o mountain_n will_v much_o confirm_v what_o have_v be_v new_o recite_v out_o of_o acosta_n if_o we_o have_v sufficient_a reason_n to_o believe_v it_o but_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o very_o diffident_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o partly_o because_o when_o i_o pass_v the_o alps_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o no_o notible_a change_n betwixt_o the_o consistence_n of_o the_o air_n at_o the_o top_n and_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mountain_n partly_o because_o of_o a_o very_a punctual_a relation_n make_v by_o a_o english_a gentleman_n of_o his_o ascension_n on_o to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o pike_n of_o tenariff_n which_o be_v by_o great_a odds_o high_a than_o olympus_n i_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o such_o difficulty_n of_o breathe_v and_o partly_o also_o because_o the_o same_o author_n tell_v we_o out_o of_o aristotle_n that_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o olympus_n there_o be_v no_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n insomuch_o that_o letter_n trace_v upon_o the_o dust_n have_v be_v after_o many_o year_n find_v legible_a and_o not_o discompose_v whereas_o that_o inquisitive_a busbequius_fw-la who_o be_v ambassador_n from_o the_o german_a to_o the_o turkish_a emperor_n in_o one_o of_o his_o eloquent_a epistle_n 3._o epist._n 3._o tell_v we_o upon_o his_o own_o knowledge_n that_o olympus_n may_v be_v see_v from_o constantinople_n blanch_v with_o perpetual_a snow_n which_o seem_v to_o argue_v that_o the_o top_n of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o of_o divers_a other_o tall_a hill_n be_v not_o above_o that_o region_n of_o the_o air_n wherein_o meteor_n be_v form_v though_o otherwise_o in_o that_o memorable_a narrative_n which_o david_n fraelichius_n 19_o fraelichius_n apud_fw-la varen_n geogra_fw-la gener_n lib._n 1._o cap._n 19_o make_v of_o his_o ascent_n to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o prodigious_o high_a hungarian_a mountain_n carpathus_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o when_o have_v pass_v through_o very_o thick_a cloud_n he_o come_v to_o the_o very_a top_n of_o the_o

but_o this_o might_n well_o be_v casual_a as_o be_v he_o have_v a_o clear_a air_n where_o he_o be_v though_o there_o be_v cloud_n not_o only_o beneath_o he_o but_o above_o he_o but_o though_o what_o have_v be_v hitherto_o discourse_v incline_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o ventilation_n and_o depuration_n of_o the_o blood_n as_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a and_o constant_a use_n of_o respiration_n yet_o methinks_v it_o may_v be_v suspect_v that_o the_o air_n do_v something_o more_o than_o bare_o help_v to_o carry_v off_o what_o be_v throw_v out_o of_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o
