tra&ion communicated from one End to the other, 
with as much Vigour as by any of the other Me- 
thods before mentioned. This Experiment was 
made September 13, 1732. 
September 14 I firft made the fallowing Experi- 
ment. There was taken a Rod which was compo- 
fed partly of Wood and partly Cane : It was twenty- 
four Feet in Length, and in Form not unlike two 
FiflaingRods fuppofed joined together at their bigger 
Ends. This Rod was fufpended Horizontal by 
two Threads of Silk: Over this, at about two Feet 
from the End, was fufpended a fmali hazel Wand, 
about five Feet long, at right Angles to it, but not 
touching the Rod : Then going to the other End of the 
Rod, the Tube being excited and held near it, repeat- 
ing the fame three or four times asufual, and going to 
the hazel Wand with a fmali white Thread, I found 
that it was attra&ed to it when held near to any 
Part thereof. The next Day Mr. Wheler came to 
Mr. Godfrey 9 s, and now, by their Aflifiance, I re- 
peated the Experiment, and we found that by fuf- 
pending the Wand at feveral Heights, we could 
perceive there was an Attraftion, when it was at the 
Height of more than twelve Inches. Hhall now give 
fome Account of my repeating, and what farther Im- 
provements! have made to fome of thefe Experiments 
lince my Return to London . 
September zyih I repeated the Experiment on two 
Boys, firft fetting one of them on Cakes of Rofin, 
and the other being fufpended on the Hair-Lines, and 
the Effeft was the fame as hath been above related. 
I thencaufed both the Boys to ftand on Cakes of Ro- 
fin, giving them to hold a Part of a Spanifr Cane- 
Fifhing-
