but by no means in proportion to their Number 
and Size: Therefore, as the Bodies to be ele&rified 
will contain only a certain Quantity of Ele&ricity, 
of which more largely hereafter 5 when that Quan- 
tity is acquired, which is fooneft done by a Num- 
ber of Globes, the Surcharge is diflipated as faft as 
it is excited. 
6 . After the Globes had been a few times ufed, I 
found myfelf Matter of a much greater Quantity of 
eie&rical Power, with much lefs Labour to myfelf, 
than when I ufed only Tubes. I could attract and 
repel light Subftances at a much greater Diflance 
than before ; fire Spirits of Wine, Camphire, and 
all other Subftances whofe Vapours were inflamma- 
ble, with great Eafe, and at any Diflance, with N011- 
elettrics placed upon Originally-electrics : I could 
fire them, I fay, at all times 5 though not equally 
eafy, when the Weather was moift. 
7. I difeover'd with this Machine, and commu- 
nicated to feveral Members of this Society , feveral 
of the Experiments faid to be fiift made by M. le 
Monnier at jP^w, before the Letter communicating 
them was received by our mol worthy c Prejident 
from thence. 
8. I order'd another Machine to be made for a 
Friend of mine, which carried a Globe of fixteen 
Inches Diameter. I united the Power of this large 
Globe with that of three of the others be- 
fore-mention'd, and found the Strokes from the 
excited Non-electrics not increafed according to my 
Expectation. In two Experiments indeed, where 
the Diffipation of the whole Power of thefe Globes 
was vifible as faft as it was excited, the Effect of this 
additional
