For some evenings past there have been some very vivid displays of aurora borealis, commencing about 7:30 p.m. in the north or the horizon + spreading laterally + upwards. Telegraph lines worked badly unless by continuous metallic connection, made at the terminal station by connecting two line + taking off the ground wires.
When studying electro-magnets, their capacity for magnetism it reminds me of human capabilities, especially my own. Up to a certain limit I readily absorb so to speak the process of reasoning be it in science of mathematics, this is when approaching my “maximum,” after that limit I have to apply myself rigorously and by perseverance can absorb me, but unless this process is repeated several times I am apt to lose much of this additional absolution, unless I practically do work which involves this process of reasoning, in making experiments or the like, which is the best aid to memory.
