is able to defect the magnetic needle
by stroking quite lightly with his fin
gernail the glass lid Of WELDON
structed compass. He found great
differences in himself according to the
time of day. whether he had pre-
viously rested or worked talked or
taken food. When the stomach was
empty OF when he had talked much
for instance. the experiment did not
succeed; if he had eaten and drunk,
1t usually went very well. But among
many other persons he found only
very few who like him could perform
the experiment He himself could
occasionally bring the needle to de-
Election by simply touching the com.
pass lid. He discovered also that the
keys which he had carried for some
time in his pocket and his keyring
had become decidedly magnetic. On
his pocketknife the blade which he
regularly used, the nail file, as well
as pins that he frequently stuck into
his coat, had taken on the same prop
