§luery IVi Whether the Reafon that Tome Sup- 
porters tranfmit the Ele<flricity running from the 
rubb’d Tube along the String to Bodies beyond them, 
be not as follows, 'viz. That having receiv'd fome of 
the eledrical Stream, they foon become faturated 
with it, and fo receiving no more of it, let the reft 
pafs on without difturbing it ? 
^ery V. Whether the Reafon, that Supporters 
made of vegetable Subftances, Metals, and fuch 
others, as flop the Eledricity above-mention'd from 
running any farther along the String than the Place 
where it refts upon them, be not this? viz. That 
they are never faturated with the eledrical Stream, 
but continually receive it, and tranfmit it to the next 
contiguous Body, provided that contiguous Body be 
of the fame kind with themfelves, and alfo con- 
tiguous to bther Bodies of the fame fort : I mean 
fuch as would flop the Eledricity, if the String was 
fupported by them. For even thefe Supporters will 
tranfmit the Eledricity, if terminated at each End by 
Bodies that tranfmit the Eledricity, when they fup- 
port the String. 
^ery Yl. Whether we may not diflinguHh all 
Bodies in general, in refped of Eledricity, into fuch 
as may be excited to Eledricity, and fuch as cannot 
be excited to Eledricity? the two kind of Bodies 
receiving the Eledricity from other Bodies into 
which it has been excited differently ; the firft alfo 
tranfmitting the Eledricity, while the others do 
not. 
Thefe G^eries are fuch as arife from a Confidera- 
tion of Experiments made by Others, and fuch as I 
have made myfelf.
