In fact, unless the amount of water passed over with the steam by priming or foaming, when working under pressure, can be accurately ascertained, the evaporative results are not to be relied upon, however careful in other respects the trial may have been conducted.

Now the action of a powerful co-agent in the evaporative process, such as is assumed in this hypothesis, is a fact of history.

Thus, in order to know the evaporative power of the air, we have only to determine the vapor pressure of the air and to remember that the rate of evaporation is in proportion to this pressure, i.
