TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM

the outbreak of the European war
yesterday had the steamer warped out
into the stream and turned end for

According to the accepted physical
theory Of magnetism, each molecule
Of a magnetic substance Ia magnet
In an unmagnetised bar, or mass of
iron, the arrangement Of the mole
cules is regarded as such that ex-
ternaily the polarity OF the different
molecules is neutraliZed. Although
these molecules resist displacement
from their normal positions, the
science Of physics has established the
fact that a rearrangement is more or
less completely accomplished when
the substance is brought under the in
fiuence of a magnet. And science has
also established the fact that when all
the molecules of substance have
their poles pointing the same way
the mass, or bar is magnetised to
saturation.
Physics also teacher that the earth
has the power of induction, which is
proved by the magnetism of ships (

too long a period OF time. The fact IS
recognized by shipbuilders and ships
