magique had vegetated, so as to appear above ground, and the remainder of 
them made their appearance the next morning. 
On the 2d instant I reckoned ten plants from the seeds electrified by 
shocks, and in the course of the same day the rest appeared. 
On the 3d of March, in the evening, some of the non-electrified seeds 
had vegetated; but it was not until the 4th and 5th of the same month that 
the rest became visible, at which time 
The plants from the seeds, electrified in the first manner, had arrived at 
the height of eleven lines; 
Those of the second were six or seven lines high; 
Whilst the non-electrified were not more than from two to four lines high. 
SEVENTH EXPERIMENT. 
From six o’clock in the morning until twelve at noon, on the 31st of 
January, 1^80, I electrified every half hour fifty grains of the Nasturtium 
(Lepidium sativum ), placed on the magic table. 
At a quarter after twelve, the same day, I sowed them in a vase filled 
with mould; on the same day, and at the same hour, I sowed, in another 
vase filled with the same mould, fifty grains of the same plant, taken from 
the same parcel, but not electrified. 
I paid exactly the same attention to both vases; and above all, I took 
care to place them both absolutely in the same degree of light. 
February 2d, about ten o’clock at night, six of the electrified grains of 
nasturtium rose out of the ground. 
February 4th, in the evening, it was before the non-electrified grains 
appeared. 
The difference as to heights, after some days had passed, was sufficiently 
striking to all to whom I showed them. They at once noticed to the rest, 
those plants, whose seeds, previous to being sown, had been electrified. 
EIGHTH EXPERIMENT. 
March 3d, I sowed in two pots, filled with mould, twenty-four grains of 
rye, twelve grains in each pot. 
I took one of the pots, and placed it by itself, making it communicate
