Abstract
I AM able to corroborate B. A. Oxon.'s letter (p. 247). In my case, the screw stopper of the bottle (inverted) rested at an angle against some books on a table. When the pressure of the gas was sufficient to force out the stopper, the bottle sprang three or four feet into the air and fell some distance off on the floor of the room.
