half an inch deep, and placed every seed with the eye downwards. All the 
vases were alike exposed, and treated in the same way. 
On the 18th of February, at five o’clock in the morning, the seeds first 
enclosed in tin, and electrified, appeared. 
At eight o’clock the seeds simply electrified on the tableau magique 
shewed themselves. 
And at ten to eleven those electrified by the shock were visible. 
But the non-electrified seeds did not shew themselves until the morning 
of the 19 th. 
On the 2d of March it occurred to me to dig up the seeds I had sown 
in the different pots, and to measure their respective heights. 
I took them up with considerable precaution; and I observed at the 
very first glance that those plants, which were formerly electrified, were 
considerably larger than the non-electrified. 
Upon a more particular examination I found, 
1st, That the non-electrified had struck a very little way into the 
ground, whereas the other had penetrated deep, and had shot out a number 
of small roots. I counted as many as thirty to one plant electrified in the 
first manner. 
2d, The plants, from the lupins wrapped in tin, during their electrisation, 
measured from the top of the stalk to the extremity of the root five inches. 
3d, One of the plants from the seed, simply electrified on the magic 
table, measured three inches eight lines and a half, and others three inches 
six lines. 
4th, Those from the seeds, which received the shocks, were two of them 
four inches and a half, the other three inches ten lines. 
5th, The longest of the non-electrified plants were not more than three 
inches four lines, and on the average not above two inches and a half. 
6th, The electrified plants appeared equally healthy with the others. 
SIXTH EXPERIMENT. 
On the 11th of lebruary I repeated the same experiment with other 
LUPINS. 
On the 1st of March twenty-six of the seeds electrified on the tableau
