I o. I put two Ounces of the fame Blood in- 
to a Glafs full of Cells or Cavities made pur- 
pofely to incorporate Oil and Vinegar; flopping 
the Mouth of the Glafl clofe, I tied it to a 
Pole which was ten Feet long, the other end 
of the Pole being firmly fixed : The Glafl 
thus fixed was carried to and fro with long 
and fwife Vibrations of the Pole, for fome Mi- 
nutes ; but the thus agitated Blood which was 
of a very florid Colour would not attrad Tin- 
fel, either thro’ the Glafs or when poured 
out on a Plate. 
II. Whereas Blood thus agitated has no 
Eleftricity, tho’ fliaken Mercury has, may not 
this be owing to the watry Parc, which a- 
bounding much in Blood, as alfo in the above- 
mentioned effervefeent Mixtures, does proba- 
bly check Eleftricicy, tho' not the Heat which 
is acquired by the mutual rubbing of the efler- 
vefcenc Particles againft each other? Eledfri- 
cal Experiments are found to fucceed beft in 
a dry Air 5 thus if a gla(s Tube be rubbed to 
fuch a Degree as to be ftrongly electrical, it 
will inftantly lofe that EleCtricity, if moiflen’d 
with Water cither cold or as warm as the 
Tube : So chat we cannot from this Want of 
Electricity in the Blood; conclude that its Heat 
is
