height it forms into drops water breaks and passes
of the steam cubic foot of water viii prodnce a
cubic inch of steam Water will, in some cases boil at
lower degree than in some othersit depends entirely
upon the pressure. The boiling point IT, in some in.
stances, 2l2 degrees. and varies by q decrease Of
pressure down to 90 degrees Mr Copeland then
said, which was done by glass tube, about
five feet 10 length with small quantity Of water in the
lower end placed lamp, which, as tho water boiled

the application of small quantity of spow Mt the ton ~
the tube the pressure atmosphere was very much
increased Sea water would not boil in the same
temperature fresh water but required two hundred
