Pole, as was feen in Experiment I. but when Ar- 
mour is applyed to each Pole, the magnetic Matter 
is thereby conduced to the Feet of the Armour } 
and a Lifter being thus apply’d to the Feet, the 
whole Stream coming out at one Pole is carried 
back through it to the other s by which means the 
Lifter is made to adhere to the Feet of the Armour 
with very great Force. When the Lifter is thus in 
Contact, the Magnet feems externally to have loft 
the greateft Part of its Force ; though in Reality it 
never adted with more. If inftead of the Lifter we 
fufpend a Number of Iron Balls in Contaft, they 
will adhere together, and hang like a Bracelet be- 
twixt the two Feet j the returning Stream palling 
now through them, as before through the Lifter. 
Prefent the Pole of a Magnet, and they inftantly 
fall afunder. 
‘Prop. III. 
The immediate Caufe of magnetic Repulflon is the 
Conflux and Accumulation of the magnetic Mat . • 
ter. 
It appeared in the fifth Experiment , that the fame 
Poles of two different Magnets being oppofed to 
each other, there was a Conflux and Accumulation 
of the magnetic Matter •, and we find by Experience 
that all magnetical Bodies in a like Situation are in 
a State of Repulfion. 
Exp. XI. 
Two fmall Bars, the one hard, the other of a 
Spring Temper, being both magnetical Matter, were 
Sfff oppofed
