The Magnetic Fish

Fish are to be purchased at the toyshops, by which the young "magnetique" may perform this experiment; they are made hollow, and will float on the water. In the mouth of each should be inserted a piece of magnetic wire. The angling rod is like any other rod, and has a silken thread for a line, and an iron hook also strongly magnetised. To catch the fish it is only necessary to put the hook in contact with the noses of the fish, and they will be taken without any of the baits mentioned in the former part of this work.
