infulated bail was placed. N. B. The bail muft not

be placed near tlie jar kfel"; for, in that fitualïpn,, I

found, that, though it was very fn>doth, and peiy

feclly iphcricaJi yet it could net be pliced peïy near thé outfide of the jar ftrtnding On thé tâbie,^ without pontrafting négative eleib-fcity, in a very

fmall feice of tiaie:

TMeie experiments threw me back into iny former

ilaté of perplexity, with refpcdt to the lateral fji:uj<

iince, when the two cletlricitics of the circuit were

exadtly balaneed, it was very little dii^inidicd, and

yet the body that received it was. not in the leaft

fenfibly electrified. But, upon refleâlinn, I con-

cludcd, that this lateral fpark muft be of thc nature

of an explofion, and confcquently, that an elcdlric

fpark muk ent^r, and, pafs out again, within to fhort

a fpacc of tirrte, aé not to bc diftinguinied, and leave

no fenfible effté]/ whatever for though, in this caiî;,

part of the eledric matter natural to thé body muft

be repelled, to make roora for the foreign elcdtricity,

its reftoration to its natural ftate was io qiiîck, that

no other motion could correfpond to it.

This hypothefis is favourcd by the obfervation,

that it is the very lame thing whether a body be in-

troduced into a circuit, or placed ncar it, with

refpecï: to contradmg eiedricity that is, whether

the eleftric charge enter the body at one place, and

go out at another, or whether it be received and

emitted at the fame place.

This lateral explolion is an efïecl fimilar to à

partial circuit, in which, part of the ele&ric matter

that forms the charge in an explofion, goes one way,

while the reft of the charge goes another the'only
