me impossible to conceive of the results in any other way than by a
mutual reaction of the magnetic force, and the force of the
particles of the crystals upon each other.' He proves that the
action of the force, though thus molecular, is an action at a
distance; he shows that a bismuth crystal can cause a freely
suspended magnetic needle to set parallel to its magne-crystallic
axis. Few living men are aware of the difficulty of obtaining
results like this, or of the delicacy necessary to their attainment.
'But though it thus takes up the character of a force acting at a
distance, still it is due to that power of the particles which makes
