Glasses, which are
made in sts,

great accuracy as to
the forms & sizes.

Per S.B Currants
are kept in Russia
in Water - The
Water serves at any
rate to exclude the
Air, and the temperature,
it must be
supposed, is low enough
to be a bar to
fermentation.

The Water serves
as a bar to great &
sudden changes of temperature.

The Hot Conservatory
business would
in most instances
be best managed
by a Balneum -
The temperature
might in this way
be more easily re-
exactly and speedily
indicated, and thence
as well as in other
increments more
exactly regulated.

By means of
a common Stock
Reservoir of water
kept constantly boiling,
any number
of vessels might
be kept near one
another in so many different
degrees of temperature.

So likewise the
Cold Conservatory.
The temperature
of water being much
steadier much less
speed liable to sudden
variation than
that of air - See
Kirwan. 30-38.

The water in the
Balneum (Cold) should
be capable of being
agitated, to keep the
temperature steady,
by mixing the parts
changed with the parts
unchanged:

The difference in
gravity between warm
& cold water makes
a gradual mixture,
but a storm expidites
it. Kirw. 35.

When water (hot
or cold) is let into
the Balneum in
order to regulate the
temperature, by
making up for any
unintended change
produced in it, it
should be let in
in drops rather
than in a mass:
ex.g. by operating through & rose
over under the cock, or
by dropping through
a cullender &c.

Chapt.III 395: "Moisture
is an indispensible
requisite to facilitate
putrefaction; and any substance
may be defended
from this change by compleatly
drying it. This
was performed by Viliars
& Cazelet of Bordeaux,
by means of stoves. The
meat thus prepared was
preserved for several years
without having contracted
any bad flavour."The Sands
Chaptal III 274.
"The content of Air is
the 2d necessary cause,
in the putrefaction of
vegetables. It is reported in the Ephemerides of the Curious in Natural Phenomena for 1787" (1687?) "that ripe Cherries were preserved for 40 years by inclosing them in a vessel well luted, and placed at the bottom of a Well." Ib.275. Ascertain degree of heat likewise necessary. The heat between 5 & 10 degrees" (43 1/4 & 54 1/2 Fahrt "is sufficient to cause decomposition. A greater heat
