Your experiment and his agreeing, shows another remarkable differ ence between electric and common fire. For the latter quits most readily the body that contains it, where water, or any other fluid, is evaporating from the surface of that body, and eseapes with the vapour. Hence the method, long in use in the east, of cooling li quors, by wrapping the bottles round with a wet cloth, and exposing them to the wind. Dr. Cullen, of Edinburgh, has given some ex periments of cooling by evaporation ; ...and I was present at one made by Dr. Hadley, then professor of chemistry at Cambridge, when, by repeatedly wetting the ball of a thermo meter with spirit, and quickening the evapo ration by the blast of a bellows, the mercury fell from 65, the state of warmth in the com mon air to 7, which is 22 degrees below freezing ; and, accordingly, from some water mixed with the spirit, or from the breath of the assistants, or both, ice gathered in small spicula round the ball, to the thickness of near a quarter of an inch.
