In my paper on the "Unsymmetrical Distribution of Terrestrial Magnetism," it was shown that by heating small surfaces of the thin sheet iron entirely covering the ocean areas of the mapped globe strong magnetic polarity was induced at the heated parts, just as when the magnetic continuity of the iron was interrupted by cutting through the same parts of the iron in an equatorial direction.
