| Description | Hauksbee writes: 'The Experiment related by the late Ingenious Experimentor Dr Hooke, in one of his Papers (delivered to me by Mr Waller) is concerning two Liquors, which, when mixt together, would possess less space than when separate ; which he calls a Penetration of Dimensions: And adds further, that this Penetration is the cause of Heat, of Fire, of Flame, of the Power of Heat, Fire and Gun Powder, and several other Phaenomena, which seem to be most prodigious and wonderful in Nature.'
