 defies all the laws known to men. It makes the needle move and turn on the compass which we stole from the Home of the Scholars; but we had been taught, when still a child, that the loadstone points to the north and that this is a law which nothing can change; yet our new power defies all laws. We found that it causes lightning, and never have men known what causes lightning. In thunderstorms, we raised a tall rod of iron by the side of our hole, and we watched it from below. We have seen the lightning strike it again and again. And now we know that metal draws the power of the sky, and that metal can be made to give it forth. We have built strange things with this discovery of ours. We used for it the copper wires which we found here under the ground. We have walked the length of our tunnel, with a candle lighting the way. We could go no farther than half a mile, for earth and rock had fallen at both ends. But we gathered all the things we found and we brought them to our work place. E GREATEST POWER ON EARTH FOR IT DEFIES ALL THE LAWS KNOWN TO MEN IT MAKES THE NEEDLE MOVE AND TURN ON THE COMPASS WHICH WE STOLE FROM THE HOUSE OF SCHOLARS BUT WE HAD BEEN TAUGHT WHEN STILL A CHILD THAT THE LOADSTONE POINTS TO THE NORTH AND THIS IS A LAW WHICH NOTHING CAN CHANGE YET OUR NEW POWER DEFIES ALL LAWS WE FOUND THAT IT CAUSES LIGHTNING AND NEVER HAVE MEN KNOWN WHAT CAUSES LIGHTNING IN THUNDERSTORMS WE RAISED A TALL ROD OF IRON BY THE SIDE OF OUR HOLE AND WATCHED IT FROM BELOW WE HAVE SEEN THE LIGHTNING STRIKE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND NOW WE KNOW THAT METAL DRAWS THE POWER OF THE SKY AND THAT METAL CAN BE MADE TO GIVE IT FORTH WE HAVE BUILT STRANGE THINGS WITH THIS DISCOVERY OF OURS WE USED IT FOR THE COPPER WIRES WHICH WE FOUND HERE UNDER THE GROUND WE HAVE WALKED THE LENGTH OF OUR TUNNEL WITH A CANDLE LIGHTING THE WAY WE COULD GO NO FURTHER THAN HALF A MILE FOR EARTH AND ROCK HAD FALLEN AT BOTH ENDS BUT WE GATHERED ALL THE THINGS WE FOUND AND WE BROUGHT THEM TO OUR WORK PLACE
