8. A non eledric Body will not retain the Electri- 
city which it receives from an Eledric per fe, unlefs 
it be free from touching any other non-eledric 
Cody ; but mud be fufpended or fupported by Elec- 
trics per fe touching only them and the Air. 
9. An Eledric per fe, when it is not reduced to a 
non-eledric State, will not receive Elcdricity from 
another Eledric per fe, whole Elcdricity is excited, 
fo as to run along its whole Length ; but will only 
receive it a little Way, being (as it were) faturated 
with it. 
10. An Eledric per fe will not lofe all its Electri- 
city at once, but only the Electricity of fuch Parts 
of the Body as have communicated it to other Bo- 
dies, or near which Non- eledrics have been brought. 
t 1. When a Non-eledric, which has received 
Elcdricy, communicates its Elcdricity to another, 
it lofes all its Elcdricity at once ; and the Effluvia , 
in coming out, ftrike the new Body brought near, as 
well as the Body firft made eledric. 
12. Excited Elcdricity exerts itfelf in a Sphere 
round the Eledric per fe i or rather a Cylinder, if 
the Body be cylindric. 
13. The Elcdricity which a Non-eledric of great 
Length (for Example, a hempen String 800 or 900 
Peet long) receives, runs from one End to the other 
in a Sphere of eledrical Effluvia. But all the Sup- 
ports of this String mull be Eledrics per fe. 
14. If this String be branched out into many 
Strings, the Elcdricity will run to all their Ends. 
15. If the non-eledric String, which is to receive 
and carry on the eledric Effluvia , be not continuous, 
but has between its Ends fome Eledrics per fe, the 
Effluvia
