The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the temperature to that of ice. Hence
water kept in room awhile, is always unfit
for use, and should always be renewed,
whether it become warm or not. And for
the same reason, the water in pumpstock
should all be pumped out in the morning,
before any is used. That which has stood
