Static electricity: Glass globe machine produces a charge of static electricity which is transmitted to the upper floor of a house by a chain. Upstairs someone,insulated either by being suspended by silken cords or by standing on a block of wax,is 'charged' and is attracting scraps of paper. At the door downstairs,another spark is being drawn from the finger of a 'charged' subject. From Recherches sur les Causes Particulaires des Phenomenes Electriques by Abbe Nollet (Paris,1753).
