"It is supposed to be in 75 deg., south latitude, south of New Holland, in the Southern Ocean.

A point has been reached where the _dip_ is 88-2/3 deg., however." "Of course this magnetic pole that Ross found in 70 deg.

is not the _bona fide_ north pole of the earth," Wade observed.
"Oh, no!" said the captain.

"The _genuine_ north pole is not so easily reached." "It's curious what this magnetic attraction is," said Kit reflectively.
"It is now considered to be the same thing as electricity, is it not ?" I asked.
"Yes," replied Kit; "but whether they are a _fluid_ or a _force_ is not so clear.

Tyndall and Faraday think they are a sort of _force_." "It is found that this _dip_ of the needle, or, in other words, the position of the magnetic poles, varies with the amount of heat which the earth receives from the sun," remarked Raed.
