I o. That therefore the fame Effect, a Snapping, is ob- 
ferved, upon bringing any Non-electric near either 
of thefe Perfons, from very different Caufes : For it 
is apprehended, that, by bringing the Non-eledrjc 
near him, whole Electricity is more rare, this Snap- 
ping reftores to him what he had loft s and that, 
by bringing it near him, whole Electricity is 
more denfe, it takes of his Surcharge, by which 
means their original Quantity is reftored to each. 
$ V. This Solution of this Rhsenomenony without: 
allowing any Part of the Electricity of either of thefe 
two Perfons to be furnifhed by the circumambient 
Air, was fatisfactory, not only to the Gentleman 
who propofed it, but to many of the Royal Society, 
excellent Judges of this Matter, to whom I file wed 
the Experiment: And this the more fo, as it is to 
be obferved, that if, under the before-mention’d Cir- 
cumftances, the Perfon rubbing the Globe was touched 
by him who held his Finger to the. Globe, the Snap- 
ping was much greater than if either of them touched 
a Perfon (landing upon the Floor ; as the Denfity of 
the Electricity between thefe two Perfons was fo 
much more different than that of either of them 
to him on the Floor : Whereas did their Electricity 
proceed from the Air, from their being both elec- 
trifed they ought not to fnap at all from their touch- 
ing each other 5 or, admitting they did touch each 
other, they both of them, upon a Suppofition that 
they did receive their Electricity alike from the Air, 
fhould manifefl the Accumulation thereof, and fnap
