![3d curiofity to direCt a few experiments to be made in your premifes, I am induced to recommend a]fo a trial of tlie vapors of the nitrous acid. Saltpetre, put into a heated pip- kin is decompofed by the acid of Vitriol; and the fumes rife up in a thick cloud, and attract the hydrogenous gas (fire-damp) that comes in their way, and annihilate it. This acid very eafily parts with its oxygen, and is not liable to fome objections which have been made againft the oxy-muriatic gas. It was my intention at one time, to recommend this procefs in preference to the other, for they both act on the fame principle. T. T„ FINIS.
