Excerpt from Wonderful Inventions: From the Mariner's Compass to the Electric Telegraph Cable
The Series commences with the Mariner's Compass, and ends with the Electric Telegraph, one of the most subtle applications Of magnetic power; for, although the ancients, in their attempt to leap from obvious facts to the highest point of generality, inferred from the magnet attracting iron that the magnetic pole Of the earth would draw the nails out of a ship's bottom which came near it, they never anticipated girdling the universe with a sentence in forty minutes.
