1. I put a piece of very hard takalre, which

I fhall call r, weighing So graio. i oyfterfhell
lime-vrazer, renewing the lime-water every day, and
keeping it in a heat bdwmt go and to(' degrees of
Fahrenheit's fexle. After an days, I took OIR alto
rrkuirr arsdhaving fet it by for fome days, till it
was beconie quite dry, I broil-hod away all the rotten
part of it, which was reduced to a kind of Chalky
powder, and found that the undiffolved part of it
weighed 47 grains.
2. At the fame time piece of another naholor,
se, weighing op grains, was, after like infuSon of
yo days in oyftedhell lime-water, reduced to to
grains.
I put a piece of e, weighing 14 grains, in a
folution of half an ounce of the internal gort of
Spanilb foap in nine ounces of water, and every
third day renewed the folucion, which vas kept in
o hat of sheet do degrees. After 14 days, I found
the undiffolved part not to exceed t t grams.
4.. A piece of a white chalky rakulmr, .1, weigh-
ing 30 grains, had MI! 4 grains of its (sibilance
diffolved, by being 14 days infufed as above in a fo-
lotion of foap.

From N°. I. above, oampared with Dr. Springs-

fold's ExTer.(8), it appears, that the diffolving power
of oyfterfhell lime-water is to that of the Carlfhad
water as 23 to IS, fuppofing the rekrli ufed in thefe
experiment* to have been equally exfy to difolve.
N°.3. compared with Dr.Spongsfdd's Exper.(A),
(hews, that the diffolving power of a folution of the
Omer part of Spanifh foap, in a heat of 15o degtem,
