" Because, " said Robert, " you have not the same means of attracting them that I have. " And seeing his cousin mortified at his inferiority, he generously explained the phenomenon, and showed him that he had a mag- net concealed in the bread, which attracted a large needle placed in the body of the swan. 25 " What is a magnet ?" said Ed- ward. ..."
