certainly baking cheapest - Boiling heats a great superfluiting of water. No use converting any of it into steam.
If the water
would not rise
- the higher or
much the higher
for the smallness
of the content of the

Valves and locks
would be of no

will not
sink but in
proportion as
it is drawn off
by the wicks &
replaced by the
air that rushes
in through them.
The use of
the cocks is to

they are placed,
whereby the water
may be let
down below them
and so a greater
bulk of air be
subjected to the
flash.
But Quere,
whether there
can be any advantage
in that?
since by having
so much more air
