Having accomplished this comparison, I next drew out of the ground, 
just as they happened to stand, six plants of the electrified lettuce, with as 
many of the non-electrified, and the result from measurement was as follows: 
Length of the electrified Lettuce, taken from 
where the root and stem join to the ex¬ 
tremity of the root.

TENTH EXPERIMENT. 
From April 21st, at six o’clock in the morning, until six o’clock in the 
evening of the 23d, I electrified some grains of lettuce from six o’clock in 
the morning till nine at night, recharging the magic table every hour, and 
sometimes every half hour. 
On the 23d, in the evening, I sowed these three seeds, and at the same 
time I sowed a like quantity of non-electrified seeds, in the same sort of 
mould, and taken out of the same paper; the two pots were alike placed, 
and so was the treatment, as in all my former experiments. 
April 28th, by six o’clock in the evening, four plants from the electrified 
seeds came up, as did all the others during the course of the night. 
April 2C)th, in the course of the evening, some of the plants from the non- 
electrified seeds appeared; and on the 30th, the rest did the same. 
May 2d, I pulled up, with great precaution, from each of the pots several
