Objervations on Animal Eleétricity, $ 
An experiment was then made to try whether the fame phe- 
nomena. would occur if another woman put on the girl’s 
fhift; but nothing of the kind was obferved either by the 
perfon who had put it on, or by thofe who touched it; but 
the phenomena were repeated when it touched the maid 
on whom they had been firft obferved. Every time after this 
period that the fame perfon put on a clean fmock, the fame 
effects were produced; but they difappeared after the fhift 
had been worn fome days. On the 1ft of February the 
whole phenomenon ceafed, and after that time never re-

a linen cloth, lying in bed, abundance of {parks iffued from. 
them. 
XXII. M. Von Schlemmer, of Deux-Ponts, relates of a 
lady named Von Koch, that fhe often obferves, when the 
gets up carly, ‘that a ribbon, with which fhe binds up her 
hair during the night, adheres io her fingers when fhe pulls 
it off, and moves with velocity towards other neighbouring
