If un-der one of these Electro-Magnets adishful of small iron nails be held, themoment the current passes the nails areall attracted, and, while they are held byits poles, may be moulded by the handin various shapes, but as soon as the cur-rent stops they all fall off. It is upon this principle of producingtemporary magnetism by an electric cur-rent that Morses electric telegraph de-pends. In Fig. 148, m m is an electro-magnet, with its Fig.
