Magnetish. — Possessing  the  property  of
magnetism  to  a  limited  degree.
This  term  is  a  bad  one,  and  its  use  should  be
avoided.
Magnetism,  Complex-Lamellar,.  Distri-
bution of The  distribution  of  the

magnetism  of  a  finite  magnet  into  an  infinite
number  of  complex  magnetic  shells.
Magnetism,     Horizontal    Intensity    of

Earth's The  force  which  causes  a

magnetic  needle  to  come  to  rest  in  a  hori-
zontal position  in  the  earth's  field.
The  horizontal  intensity  of  the  earth's  mag-
netism can  be  determined  by  means  of  a  magnet-
ometer. The  horizontal  intensity  at  any  place  is
proportional  to  the  square  root  of  the  number  of
oscillations  which  a  needle  suspended  about  a
vertical  axis  performs  at  that  place  in  a  given
time,  when  disturbed  from  its  position  of  rest  in
the  earth's  field.
Magnetism,  Total  Intensity  of  Earth's
The  entire  force  of  the  earth's  mag-
netism.
The  total  intensity  of  the  earth's  magnetism
is  equal  to  the  resultant  of  the  horizontal  and
vertical  intensities,  or  to  the  quotient  of  the  hori-
zontal intensity  by  the  cosine  of  the  angle  of  dip.
Magnetism,  Bemanent A  phrase

sometimes  used  in  place  of  residual  magnet-
ism.    (See  Magnetism,  Residual?)

Magnetism,  Specific  — A  term  pro-
posed for  the  quotient  of  the  magnetic  moment
of  a  magnet  by  its  mass.
Magnetism,  Vertical  Intensity  of  Earth's

The  force  which  tends  to   cause  a

magnetic  needle  to  assume  a  vertical  position.
The  following  formula  gives  the  vertical  inten-
sity of  the  earth's  magnetism  :
V  =  H.  tan.  9
Where  V  =  vertical  intensity.
H  =  the  horizontal  intensity,
and  0  =  the  angle  of  dip.
Magnetist — A  magnetician.
The  word  magnetician  is  preferable.
Magnetizability. — Possessing  the  ability
of  becoming  magnetized.
