another. The magnet lifts up the hot, soft metal without denting
it or damaging it and drops it down where it is wanted. The
power which moves trolley cars through the streets is nothing in
reality but an application of the force of the magnetic
principle. ----

That the earth itself is a great magnet cannot be questioned.
And there is no doubt that each of us human beings is a compound
magnet on his own account, depending for his welfare on magnetic
force.

The millions of red corpuscles in the blood, each with its
infinitesimal particles of iron, absorb in the lungs and
distribute throughout the body the electric forces on which we
depend, and with which we do our work.

When you read of men and women dealing in a blundering kind of a
way with abstract, abstruse speculations and problems, do not
laugh at them too heartily. They are no more ridiculous than the
old Greeks who thought that a magnet could be regulated by garlic
or goat's blood. And their wild theories of to-day may settle
down into great utility centuries from now. This applies to
Christian Science, faith cures, telepathy, and the many other
speculations of the present day. There is unquestionably much
future fruit and value in many or all of them.
