Experiment VI. 
Having again fufpend^d the Ring with the Bodies 
and Pyramid of Packthreads to the perpendicular 
Cat-gut, I tied a Packthread to the Ring, and carried 
it horizontally about 2^0 Feet from the Ring 5 and 
having faften’d a Cat-gut String three Foot long to it, 
I gave it an Alliftant to hold : Then applying the 
rubb'd Tube to the End joining that Cat-gut, the 
Eledlricity was communicated to the Ring, and all 
the fulpended Bodies, as appear’d by applying the 
white Thread near them, which was attradled by 
every Part of the Ring, and all the Bodies. 
Experiments made before the Royal 
Society^ Feb. 16. 1737-8. 
Experiment I. 
I applied the rubb’d Tube to a burning Candle, 
and it had no manner of Effedl on the Flame j but 
as foon as the Candle was blown out, it attradied the 
Smoke at four or five Inches Diftance. 
Experiment II. 
An horizontal Packthread, of about 18 Feet in 
Length, being terminated by the Cat-gut Strings, of 
three Foot long each, I hung (towards one of the 
Ends of the Packthread) upon it a Candleftick with a 
lighted Candle in it; then applying the rubb’d Tube 
to the other End of the Packthread, the Candleftick 
attradfed the Thread, and it was aUb attradted by the 
Candle,
