This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Faraday pointed out that such changes in temperature would necessarily pro Fig. in.--Diamagnetic Character of Ordinary Candle Flame. A species of blow-pipe operated by magnetic streamings. duce changes in the direction of magnetic needles, and, as we have already seen, proposed a theory for the earth's magnetism based on this effect. In his "Experimental Researches," No. 2847, Volume III., page 218, on "Atmospheric Magnetism," Faraday speaks as follows, as to the effect which the magnetic character of the oxygen of the air should from Farahave on the variations of the compass needle: ony"Atmos "It is to me an impossible thing to perceive, thatSeti"m."as" two-ninths of the atmosphere, by weight, is a highly magnetic body, subject to great changes in its mag netic character, by variations in its physical conditions of temperature and condensation or rarefaction (2780), and at the same time subject to these physical changes in a high degree, by annual and diurnal variations, in its relation to the sun, without being persuaded that it must have much to do with the disposition of the magnetic forces upon the surface of the earth (2796), and may perhaps account for a large part of the annual, diurnal and irregular variations, for short periods, which are found to occur in relation...
