them like fo many Pun&ures upon your Skin, oc- 
caftoning red Spots, which have lafted four and 
twenty Hours. 
9. If, when a Perfon is ele&rified, he brings his 
Hand upon the Cloaths of one that is not, they 
both have a Sen ration exaftly refembling that of 
many Pins running into the Skin, which contihues 
as long as the Globes are in Motion. This is moft 
perceptible when the Cloaths are of thin woollen 
Cloth or Silk, animal Subftances 3 lefs fo, when of 
Linen or Cotton, which are vegetable. 
10. If fome Gil of Turpentine is fet on .fire in 
any Veflel held in the Hand of an ele&rified Man, 
the thick Smoke that arifes therefrom receiv’d againft 
any Non-electric of a large Surface, held in the 
Hand of a fecond Man Handing upon an ele&rical 
Cake ; this Smoke, I fay, at a Foot Diftance from 
the Flame, will carry with it a fufficient Quantity 
of Electricity for the fecond Man to fire any inflam- 
mable Vapour. The electrical Strokes have been 
likewife perceptible upon the "touching the fecond 
Man, when the Non-electric held in his Hand has 
been in the Smoke of the Oil of Turpentine be- 
tween feven and eight Feet above the Flame. Here 
we find the Smoke of an Originally -electric a Con- 
ductor of Electricity. 
xi. Likewife if burning Spirit of Wine be fub- 
ftitured ill the Place of Oil of Turpentine, and if 
theTnd of an iron Rod in the Hand of the fecond 
Man be held at the Top of the Flame, this fecond 
Man will kindle other warm Spirits held near his 
Finger. Here we find that Flame conducts the Elec- 
tricity, and docs not perceptibly diminifh its Force.
