Virtue will go on to the End of the String, and im- 
pregnate the Bodies fatten'd to it. 
12. The receive the greateft Virtue 
at the End of the String, and moft of all, if they are 
wet. But the EleBricals per fe, if long Bodies, as 
long Sticks of Wax, and Glafs Tubes, only become 
electrical at the End next to the String. 
13* EleBrieals per fe will become Non ele 6 iricalsy 
if they be wet, or only moiften'd. Thus Supporters 
that tranfmit the Electricity immediately, flop it 
when wet with a Sponge, or when blown through, 
if open Tubes. And if the long EleBricals per fe, 
hanging at the Endof the Conductor, be made wet, they 
will become Non-eleBrtcalSy and ftrongly receptive 
of the Virtue given by the rubb’d Tube at the other 
End of the String. 
N.B. All the fix Experiments mention’d in the 
Beginning of this Paper, confirm this Obfervation. 
14. A Non-ele 6 irical having been impregnated 
with Electricity by the rubb’d Tube, is repel I’d by it, 
till it has loft its EleCtricity by communicating it to 
another Non-ele£irical. Then being in its firft State, 
it is again attracted by the Tube, which holds it till 
it has fully impregnated it i then it repels it again. 
This is evident, by attracting a Down Feather by the 
Tube in the Air, and then repelling it ; fo as to make 
it dance backwards and forwards to and from a 
Finger held up at a Foot or two from the Tube. 
But the Thing appears more plainly from the fol- 
lowing
