27. Like wife if a Perfon placed upon Originally- 
electrics, grafps two Phials, as before-mention’d, 
and a fecond Perfon, (landing upon the Floor, 
touches any Part of his Body, a very flight Stroke only 
is perceived. But if the fecond Perfon, while the 
Globes are in Motion, places one of his Fingers up- 
on the Hand, or any Part of the naked Body of the 
fiifl, and at the fame time touches the Gun-barrel 
with his other Hand 5 both feel a Shock equal to 
that juft now mention’d, but more tolerable, be- 
caufe not felt in the Head, in the Arms only, and 
acrofs the Bread. In this Experiment, it is not ne- 
c diary that the Outfide of the Glaffes held in the 
Hands fhould be dry, as in the former Experiments 5 
becaufe whatever by the Moifture is communicated[ 
to the Man, is (topped by the Originally-electrics 
upon which he is placed. If, inftead of his Hand, 
you gently touch the firft Perfon’s Cloaths, you only 
perceive a fmall Stroke upon your Finger; but if 
you prefs his Cloaths ciofe to his Body, you fre- 
quently perceive a double Stroke ; the one, flight 
from his Cloaths ; the fecond, a violent Shock from 
h'is Body. 
28. Upon (hewing fome Experiments to Dr. Be- 
vis, to prove my Affertion that the Stroke was, 
cateris paribus, as the Points of Contact of Non- 
electrics to the Glafs, that ingenious Gentleman has 
very clearly demonftrated it likewife by the follow- 
ing Experiment : He wrapped up two large round- 
bellied Phials in very thin Lead fo ciofe as to touch 
the Glaffes every-where, except their Necks. Thefe 
were filled with Water, and cork’d, with a Sraple 
of fmall Wire running through each Cork into the 
Water.
