I will tell no one, else the priest may say I am bewitched, and make me do severe penance. Only once more will I approach the spring today and then I must surely go home or I will lose my supper." She was the lodestone, being irresistably drawn to the magnet, which was apparently the rocks at the fountain. As before she approached, but with less trepidation. She began to lose all fear.
The south magnetic pole lies in the Prince Albert range of Victona Land, and was almost reached by Sir James Clark Ross. The magnetism of the earth is such as might be produced by a powerful magnet inside, but its origin is unknown, although there is reason to believe that masses of lodestone or magnetic iron exist in the crust.
Puff out of the very bottom of thy heart, if any heart thou hast, or any bottom to it. Well done, again! Thou didst suck in that mouthful as if for the pure love of it." And then the witch beckoned to the scarecrow, throwing so much magnetic potency into her gesture that it seemed as if it must inevitably be obeyed, like the mystic call of the lodestone when it summons the iron.
Moreover, it made rational thought difficult, twisting common-sense into fanciful shapes. It seemed to him an unendurable thing that he should protect himself under the wing of such a man as Stanhope; and the thought of fierce action drew him like a lodestone. "You're a good fellow, Henry," he said quietly. "However, your master and I agree perfectly."
Down either sidewalk poured a stream of people, laughing, talking, and calling to each other; the street still rumbled under passing vehicles; the Palace Hotel, in particular, had become a lodestone and near to Tommy's victoria much human traffic converged.

Pale, but with resolution, I grasped the weapon which he handed me.
Although it lacked the refinements introduced by Lord Kelvin it was swung in double-cradles, and had the thirty-two points painted upon a card. The discovery of the compass, and even of the lodestone, are things wrapt in obscurity; but the lodestone had been known since at least the eleventh century, and the compass certainly since the thirteenth.
In lifting it from the cabinet, he was struck by its great weight in proportion to its size. He made accurate examination of it by the aid of some instruments, and came to the conclusion that it was carved from a lump of lodestone.
They would confront all the peoples of the earth, pleading their Cause with proofs of the Lord of the seven spheres. It is my hope that in His bounty He will soon raise up these souls, that His Cause may be exalted. The lodestone which will attract this grace is staunchness in the Covenant. Render thou thanks unto God that thou art firmest of the firm.
"They call me The Coyote, an' they'll have me live up to the name whether I want to or not," he added bitterly. "But, Roger, you're forgetting what I said about the trails and the compass." "No, Laura, I'm not, but there's another force besides the big lodestone that's affectin' that compass." "Roger, you're thinking of an enemy!" He did not answer her.
