  7        1, XII   |              perhaps as much as the flame of spirit of wine, which
  8        1, XII   |          But still milder must that flame be which, according to certain
  9        1, XII   |           regard to the heat of the flame which was called by ancient
 10        1, XII   |            even if unaccompanied by flame, is always hot; neither
 11        1, XII   |        palpable heat, and sometimes flame in suitable matter.~To the
 12        1, XIII  |            causes; whether it be by flame or subterraneous fire, such
 13        1, XIII  |     potential heat and aptitude for flame is concerned, there are
 14        1, XIII  |             by a wide interval from flame, though of the mildest kind,
 15        1, XIII  |             heated by fire. For the flame of spirit of wine, though
 16        1, XIII  |             weakness in the heat of flame and ignited bodies. But
 17        1, XIII  |       appears, however, that of all flame that of spirit of wine is
 18        1, XIII  |           this, as I suppose, comes flame from light and porous vegetable
 19        1, XIII  |        dried leaves, from which the flame from hairs or feathers does
 20        1, XIII  |          differ. Next perhaps comes flame from wood, especially such
 21        1, XIII  |      distinction, however, that the flame from small pieces of wood (
 22        1, XIII  |          fagots) is milder than the flame from trunks and roots of
 23        1, XIII  |            After this I think comes flame from oil, tallow, wax, and
 24        1, XIII  |           22. I think also that the flame which results from some
 25        1, XIII  |            inquiry be made.~23. The flame of powerful lightning seems
 26        1, XIII  |            such as we use to kindle flame with; and in like manner
 27        1, XIII  |             and more consuming than flame of spirit of wine.~26. Of
 28        1, XIII  |           than with it; because the flame recoils more violently when
 29        1, XIII  |          wind is driving it on.~30. Flame does not burst out, nor
 30        1, XIII  |            in; except the explosive flame of gunpowder and the like,
 31        1, XIII  |             or some such thing into flame, and observing whether it
 32        1, XIII  |           than in the middle of the flame.~37. There are many degrees
 33        1, XVIII |             of ignited iron and the flame of spirit of wine (of which
 34        1, XVIII |          less brightness, while the flame of spirit of wine has more
 35        1, XX    |     displayed most conspicuously in flame, which is always in motion,
 36        1, XX    |            brightness, as in common flame and bodies heated to redness.~
 37        1, XX    |    difference is most observable in flame, where the smoke or thick

 39        1, XX    |         burn the less. For not only flame tends upward, but also all
 40        1, XX    |     difference is most displayed in flame and boiling liquids, which
 41        1, XX    |           let trial be made whether flame does not burn more sharply
 42        1, XX    |           than in the middle of the flame.~It is also shown in this,
 43        1, XXIV  |          calendar glass of air. For flame, though it manifestly exhibits
 44        1, XXXIII|        instance of companionship is flame. For in water, air, stone,
 45        1, XXXIII|            may come and go, but all flame is hot, so that heat is
 46        1, XXXIII|     attendance on the concretion of flame. But no hostile instance
 47        1, XXXV  |           great quantities, and the flame of sulphur; in one of which

 49        1, XXXVI |          place from a rare body, as flame, provided it be of sufficient
 50        1, XXXVI |           hole on some dusky bluish flame. For indeed the open rays
 51        1, XXXVI |      falling on the duller kinds of flame, appear to deaden them so
 52        1, XXXVI |          more like white smoke than flame. These are what occur to
 53        1, XXXVI |       observed that reflection from flame is not to be expected, except
 54        1, XXXVI |             expected, except from a flame of some depth, for otherwise
 55        1, XXXVI |         expansion of gunpowder into flame, by which such vast masses
 56        1, XXXVI |           when they assert that the flame is endowed by its elementary
 57        1, XXXVI |             on the supposition that flame is generated, it is yet
 58        1, XXXVI |      possible for the generation of flame to be hindered by a mass
 59        1, XXXVI |            of the opposing body, if flame be generated, they rightly
 60        1, XXXVI |             solid mass suppress the flame before it be generated.
 61        1, XXXVI |          generated. And we see that flame, especially in its first
 62        1, XXXVI |             cannot be attributed to flame by itself. But the fact

 66        1, XXXVI |             desire of bursting into flame does not produce by itself
 67        1, XXXVI |         bodies which shun and abhor flame, as all salts. For we find
 68        1, XXXVI |            a crackling noise before flame is caught; which is the
 69        1, XXXVI |  quicksilver, without bursting into flame, by mere eruption and expansion
 70        1, XXXVI |            the transitory nature of flame and its instantaneous extinction.
 71        1, XXXVI |       extinction. For the nature of flame appears to have no fixed

 73        1, XXXVI |       caused by a succession of new flame regularly generated. Nor
 74        1, XXXVI |             generated. Nor does the flame remain numerically identical,
 75        1, XXXVI |         that if the food or fuel of flame be taken away, the flame

 81        1, XXXVI |           air. But the heart of the flame, which is not touched by
 82        1, XXXVI |             but surrounded by other flame on all sides, remains numerically
 83        1, XXXVI |           surrounding air. Thus all flame is in the form of a pyramid,
 84        1, XXXVI |         admits smoke and compresses flame. For let no one dream that
 85        1, XXXVI |           no one dream that lighted flame is air, when in fact they

 87        1, XXXVI |       Observe therefore whether the flame of the taper (which is easily
 88        1, XXXVI | distinguished by its color from the flame of the spirit of wine, since
 89        1, XXXVI |            set down as certain that flame remains numerically identical

 92        1, XLII  |     nourishes them. Now the food of flame seems to be oil and fat
 93        1, XLII  |          and watery substances; for flame multiplies itself over exhalations
 94        1, XLII  |        since the mixture of air and flame escapes the sense. Now oil

 98        1, XLVI  |           strike the air before the flame behind it can get out. And
