by fufpending the Rod either by Lines of Silk, or by 
Pieces of Horfe-Hair Filhing-Lines, placing a Ball of 
Cork on the leffer End of the Rod. 
Auguft 13) I took a large Pole that was twenty-feven 
Feet long, two Inches and a half Diameter at the great 
End, and at the leffer about half an- Inch : It was that 
Sort of Wood they call Horfe-Beech, with the Rind 
on. This was fufpended by two Hair-Lines of about 
four Feet and a half in Lengthy the firft Line was 
about two Feet from the great End of the Pole,, the 
other about eight Feet from the leffer End; fo that the 
Pole hung horizontal. At the Tittle End of the Pole 
was hung a Ball of Cork about an Inch and a half 
Diameter by a Packthread about a Foot long, and a 
fmall leaden Ball upon the Cork to keep the Packthread 
extended : Then the Leaf-Brafs' being laid under the 
Cork, the Tube rubbed and held near the great End 
of the Pole, the Cork Ball drew the Leaf-Brafs ftrongly 
to the Hight of an Inch, if not more : Then the Leaf- 
Brafs being held under feveral Parts of the Pole, it 
was attrafted by it,., as Mr. Godfrey obferved, but not 
near fo ftrongly as the Cork did. 
About the Beginning of September I made the fol- 
lowing Experiment , which (hews that the Elec- 
trick Effluvia will be carried in a Circle, and be 
communicated from one Circle to another . 
There was taken a Hoop of about two Feet 
two Inches Diameter; this I fufpended by a Hair- 
Line upon a Nail drove into a Beam ; the Line was 
about four Feet long; then the Leaf-Brafs being 
laid under the Hoop, the Tube was rubbed, and. held 
within
