Steel :: Steel (n.) A variety of iron intermediate in composition and properties between wrought iron and cast iron (containing between one half of one per cent and one and a half per cent of carbon), and consisting of an alloy of iron with an iron carbide. Steel, unlike wrought iron, can be tempered, and retains magnetism. Its malleability decreases, and fusibility increases, with an increase in carbon..

Mesmerism :: Mesmerism (n.) The art of inducing an extraordinary or abnormal state of the nervous system, in which the actor claims to control the actions, and communicate directly with the mind, of the recipient. See Animal magnetism, under Magnetism..

Magnetist :: Magnetist (n.) One versed in magnetism.

Imponderable :: Imponderable (n.) An imponderable substance or body; specifically, in the plural, a name formerly applied to heat, light, electricity, and magnetism, regarded as subtile fluids destitute of weight but in modern science little used..

Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) Power of attraction; power to excite the feelings and to gain the affections.

Vichy Water :: Vichy water () A mineral water found at Vichy, France.

Called also, colloquially, Vichy..

Physics :: Physics (n.) The science of nature, or of natural objects; that branch of science which treats of the laws and properties of matter, and the forces acting upon it; especially, that department of natural science which treats of the causes (as gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc.) that modify the general properties of bodies; natural philosophy..

Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) The science which treats of magnetic phenomena.

Magnetize :: Magnetize (v. t.) To bring under the influence of animal magnetism.

Pyromagnetic :: Pyromagnetic (a.) Acting by the agency of heat and magnetism; as, a pyromagnetic machine for producing electric currents..

Oligist :: Oligist (a.) Hematite or specular iron ore; -- prob. so called in allusion to its feeble magnetism, as compared with magnetite..

Electro-magnetic :: Electro-magnetic (a.) Of, Pertaining to, or produced by, magnetism which is developed by the passage of an electric current..

Magnetism :: Magnetism (n.) The property, quality, or state, of being magnetic; the manifestation of the force in nature which is seen in a magnet..

Electro-magnetism :: Electro-magnetism (n.) The magnetism developed by a current of electricity; the science which treats of the development of magnetism by means of voltaic electricity, and of the properties or actions of the currents evolved..

Magneto- :: Magneto- () A prefix meaning pertaining to, produced by, or in some way connected with, magnetism..

Photomagnetism :: Photomagnetism (n.) The branch of science which treats of the relation of magnetism to light.

Physiography :: Physiography (n.) The science which treats of the earth's exterior physical features, climate, life, etc., and of the physical movements or changes on the earth's surface, as the currents of the atmosphere and ocean, the secular variations in heat, moisture, magnetism, etc.; physical geography..

Medium :: Medium (n.) A substance through which an effect is transmitted from one thing to another; as, air is the common medium of sound. Hence: The condition upon which any event or action occurs; necessary means of motion or action; that through or by which anything is accomplished, conveyed, or carried on; specifically, in animal magnetism, spiritualism, etc., a person through whom the action of another being is said to be manifested and transmitted..
