laflf Bodies mentioned in the Catalogue. The Cone of 
Sulphur, Numb. 19, that was call: in. a large Drink- 
ing-Glafs, in about two Hours after it was taken out of 
the Glafs, attracted, and the Glafs attracted too, but at 
a fmall Diftance. Next Day the Sulphur was taken 
out of the Glafs, and then it attraded ftrongly, but 
there was now no perceivable Attraction of the Glafs. 
Then the Cone of Sulphur was fet with its Bafe upon

Chamber, where it has continued to this Time, and 
whenever the Glafs is taken off, attrads at near as-

the Sulphur, which never fails to attract, let the 
Wind or Weather be never fo variable, as do all the

Weather the Attradions are not made at fo great a 
Diftance as in fair Weather.
