ing the Attrition, draw them in a Line towards either 
end of the Cylinder y yet ftill pointing to the Axis of 
it. And if the Wire with the Threads be revers’d, as 
I have tryed fince, that is, encompaffing the under part 
of the Cylinder, as before the upper, it anfwer’d exactly 
the fame as the other 5 the Threads all pointing to the 
Axis of it : See Fig. the 4th. I have likewife given a 
Motion to the fame Glafs in a perpendicular Pofture, 
by which means I had the opportunity of placing-a 
Hoop-Wire Horozontally, with Threads as before, and 
left only one fmall part expos’d for the touch ,of my 
Fingers between them 5 yet the Threads upon the Mo- 
tion and Attrition given the Cylinder, elevated them- 
felves from their hanging Pofture, making all round 
an Horozontal Plain, direding their loofe ends to the 
Axis as in the other. Now how far this Experiment 
may ferve to explain the Nature of Eledricity, Mag- 
natiftn, or Gravatation of Bodies, is beyond my Sphere 
to determine 5 but with all Humility fubrnit it to thofe 
Learned Gentlemen of this Honourable Society, who 
have already treated on thofe Subjeds.
