Each filing becomes a magnet in thefield of the bar magnet, and the filings then hang together in chains. Bycoating the paper with molten paraffin wax before the experiment andallowing it to cool, a smooth surface is presented to the filings. Afterthey have taken their proper arrangement the lines can be rendered 780 MAGNETISM AND ELECTRICITY CHAP. permanent by passing a bunsen flame over the sheet, which melts the waxand imbeds the filings. Figs. 719, 720 and 721 were obtained in this way.
