sphere and some roast into the other: when il was
ascertaIned that the boiled more dissolved
than the roast. The next discovery he wished to
make was the comparative effect of this extraordina-

that which swallowed whole. This experiment
was conducted like the former and tho food, which

To ascertain this he enclosed lech in sphere to
