of the Current of ele&rical AEther towards excited 
Non-electrics is likewife very perceptible to your Feel- 
ing as a Blaftof cold Wind j if when you are ele&rified, 
you hold your Hand over a Plate with fome Bran in it, 
by which Blaft the Bran is carried againft your Hand. 
Thefe light Subftances are again repelPd by the Blaft 
from the excited Bodies, as foon as they come in 
Contad:, and fometimes before. The Succeffions 
of thefe alternate Attractions and Repulfions are ex- 
tremely quick, fo that fometimes your Eye can 
hardly keep Pace with them. And if you put aglafs 
Globe of about an Inch in Diameter very light and 
finely blown into a Plate of Metal, and hang an- 
other Plate over it 3 eledrify the upper one, and bring 
the other under it, and you will find the Strokes 
from the alternate Attractions and Repulfions * 
aimod too quick for your Ear. I have feen a Ger- 
man, who traveled with a fmall electrifying Ma- 
chine, who, by a Procefs of this fort, made two 
Email. Bells ring. One of the Bells was fufpended 
to an electrified Wire, which was conducted with- 
out touching along the Sides of the Room 5 at about 
an Inch Diftancc, detached from this Wire, a little 
Clapper was hung by a filk Line 5 at an equal Di- 
ftance from this laft was hung another little Bel], 
which communicated with the Sides of the Room. 
As 
* The following is an Argument of the Velocity likewife, with 
which thefe little Globes are attracted and repelfd. If they are 
let fall from the Height of fix Feet or more upon a wooden Floor, 
or a Plate of Metal, they are rarely broke 5 but by the Attradlions 
and Repulfions of them between the Plates, though at the Diftance 
only of one fixth of an Inch, they are frequently beat in Pieces.
