Amusoment aitd Instruction Cointolned.— 
This premium will be found a source of endless amuse¬ 
ment and instruction to young people, for when they 
have tried all the experiments here described, they will 
take pleasure in inventing others, and will be, at the 
same time, learning something of tlie wonderful science 
of Magnetism. The Magnet is horse-shoe-shaped, and 
has a soft iron bar called an Armature (a), whicli is to bo 
removed when the Magnet is in use. 
We give directions for a few of the 
curious experiments: If the Magnet is , 
lient out straight, and bung up by| 
the middle, tlie end marked N will; 
always turn to the North. Rub the ' 
blade of a pen-knife on the Magnet, 
and the knife will become magnetic, 
i. e., it will attract metals just as the 
Magnet does. Rub two knives on 
different arms of the Magnet, and the 
knives will cling together fondly if 
held near each other, but when rubbed 
on the eame arm, the knives will not 
take any notice of each other. Rub a ' 'i r 
knife-blade or any piece of hard steel on the Magnet, 
and it will pick up needles, small nails, tacks, etc. Any 
intelligent boy or girl will find great amusement in these 
strange actions, and even grown up people will be 
amnsed and instructed by the Magnet. No family 
should be without one. We will send, post-paid, a very 
good 6-inch one (bar 13 inches long, weight 11 ounces.')
