Experiments relating to ^ery V. 
All the Supporters which did not tranfmit the 
Eledricity, when they reach’d from Chair to Chair, 
were made to tranfmit, when they were lengthen’d 
out with Cat-gut at each End, and then they became 
eledrical themfelves from one End to the other, as 
becoming part of the fufpended Body ; and becoming 
fo faturated, as not to be able to carry the Eledricity 
on either Side any farther than the Cat-gut to which 
they were fatten’d. 
Experiments relating to §yuery VI. 
The late Mr. Stephen Gray has, by rubbing, excited 
Eledricity in feveral of thofe Bodies which I have 
made Supporters of to tranfmit the Eledricity (See 
''Philofoph. Tranf. N° 3 66.) I have done the fame 
with feveral others, but not with all of them, though 
I fhall try them all: But as it is more difficult to 
excite that Virtue in fome than others j and all the 
Experiments in general fucceed better in dry and cold 
Weather than in moitt and warm, 1 mutt wait for 
proper Opportunities to make the Experiments, and 
then I fhall communicate them. 
Experiments concerning mix'd Subftances'. 
1. Cadis (or Woollen Tape) laid on Thread-Tape, 
when made a Supporter, tranfmitted the Eledricity. 
2. When the Thread-Tape was uppermott, the 
Eledricity was ttopp’d. 
3. When they were twitted together, the Eledri- 
ciry was tranfmitted, but mott weakly when the Pack- 
thread
