ever Non-electric touched the Globe as a Con- 
ductor, whether it were a Man or a Gun-barrel, 
upon Originally-Elcctrics. If then, either the Man 
who rubbed the Globe, or he who only held his 
Finger near the Equator thereof, were touched by 
any Pcrfon handing upon the Floor, a Snapping from 
either of them, 1 fay, was perceptible upon that 
Touch. 
§ III. As in my Sequel I had averted, and by many 
Experiments therein had endeavoured to evince, 
that, contrary to the received Opinion, the Electri- 
city was not derived from Glafs, the Air, or other 
Electrics per fe-, I was defired to confider how far 
this Experiment did not prove the reverfe of that 
Afiertion ; inafmuch as neither the Man who rubbed 
the Globe, or he who touched it with his Finger, 
from their being here both fupported by Originally- 
Elcctrics, could receive any Supply from the Floor.; 
and yet both of them fnapped upon the Touch of 
a Pcrfon not fupported by Electrics per fe. Many 
Experiments had proved that the Electricity was not 
derived from the Glafs 5 and therefore it was con- 
cluded, by Dr. Bevis, and feveral others to whom 
this Gentleman fhewed the Experiment, that the 
Electricity here was communicated to die Per (on 
rubbing from the Air, by means either of the fuf- 
pended Gun-barrel, or of the Man who touched the 
Globe. 
<J IV. I was by no means fatisfied with this Con- 
clufion, as being directly contrary to numberlefs 
Facts. From a careful Confederation therefore of the 
Experiment itfelf, from comparing its Effects with 
thofe of feveral others, and, in general, from furvey-
