more fuccefs, as it is perhaps one of thc moll conk-

as it is capable of demonlirating the exiflencc of a

chalybeat waters, which have been yet difrovered.
When galls art added to the water, at the farm
time with oil of tartar, infield of its deep blue co-
lour, it affords only a red tindure.
It appears fiem the tttls experiment, that an ad.
dition of common water caufes the mineral water to
precipitate its ochre ; and the reafon of this is ob-
vious: for if thcfc ochrous parts bc altogether terra];
as they appear to be, end exifl in thc water tine°.
ncacd with any other principle, then it mull hap-
pen, that as thefe parts arc uniformly diffuted thief
thc water, in which they are fufpendcd as in a ma-
th-Limn ; by the addition of common water, the
menftruum being diluted, the cohesion of thee te-
rene parts mull be thereby wakened, and their coo-

being thus taken off, they cm be no longer fupported
in the fluid, but mull be precipitated by the form of
their own gravity.

Exp. so. When the water was expoled foc fotor

days to the air, there was a armor separated from
it of a finning chalybeat colour. This, like oder
kinds of armor, takes a conliderable time to coo.
