PHILADELPHIA, Oftober 19. AS frequent Mention is made in the News Papers from Europe, of the Succefs of the Philadelphia Experiment for drawing the Electric Fire from Clouds by Means of pointed Rods of Iron erected on high Buildings, may be agreeable to the Curious to be informed, that the fame Experiment has fucceeded in Pbila dllphia, tho made in a different and more eafy Manner, which any one may as follows. Make a fmall Grofs of two light Strips of Cedar, the Arms fo long as to reach to the four Corners of a large thin Silk Handker when extended tie the Corners of the Handkerchief to the Extremities of the Crofs, fo you have the Body of a Kite which being properly accommodated with a Tail, Loop and String, will rife in the Air, like thofe made of Paper but this being of Siik is fitter to bear the Wet and Wind of a Thunder Guft without tearing. To the Top of the upright Stick of the Crofs is to be fixed a very fharp pointed Wire, rifing aFeotor more above the Wood. To the End of the Twine, next the Hand, is to be tied a filk Rib ban, and where the Twine and the filk join, a Key may be fattened.

This Kite is to be raifed when a Thunc'er Guft appears to be coming oa, and the Perfon who holds the String muft ftand within a Door, or Window, or under fome Cover, fo that the Silk Ribbon may not be wet and Care muft be taken that the Twine does not touch the. Frame of the Door or Window. As foon as any of the Thunder Clouds corrw over the Kite, the pointed Wire will draw the Electric Fire from them, and the Kite, with all the Twine, will be electrified, and the loofe Filaments of the Twine will ftand out every Way, and be attracted by an approaching Finger. And when the Ram has wet the Kite and Twine, fo that it can conduit the Electric Fire freely, you will find it ftream ut plentifully from the Key on the Approach of your Knuckle. As this Key the Phial may be icharg and from Electric Fire thus obtain'd, Spirits may be kindled, and all the other Experiments be perforrh'd, which are ufually done by the Help of a rubbed Glafs Globe ot Tube and thereby the Samenefs of the Elearic Matter with that of Lightning compleatly Captain He.uderfon from Londonderry, there is Advice of the Death off the Honourable Sir Peter Warren.
