CAROLINE.
I hear already the hissing of the gas through the tube, and I can feel a strong current against my hand.
MRS. B.
This current I am going to kindle with the candle—see how vividly it burns——
EMILY.
It burns like a candle with a long flame. But why does this combustion last so much longer than in the former experiment?
MRS. B.
The combustion goes on uninterruptedly as long as the new gas continues to be produced. Now if I invert this receiver over the flame, you will soon perceive its internal surface covered with a very fine dew, which is pure water——
CAROLINE.
Yes, indeed; the glass is now quite dim with moisture! How glad I am that we can see the water produced by this combustion.
