For more than twenty years scientists have been eking to understand the mystery of the ‘‘sixth n" of direction.By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one,they are now getting clor to one answer.
One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass(指南针).
Our earth itlf is a big magnet(磁体).So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines我走在路上
itlf with the big earth magnet to point north and south.When people discovered that id
ea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass,it allowed sailors to navigate (航海)on ocean voyages, even under cloudy skies.   
Actually the idea of the living compass came just from obrving animals in nature.
Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes.Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night.Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns.But they can keep on cour even under cloudy skies.How can they do that?
A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon.Not all pigeons can find their way home.Tho that can are very good at it,and they have been widely studied. 
One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds’ heads to block their
magnetic n—just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner.On sunny days, that did not fool the pigeons.Evidently they can u the sun to tell which wa
y they are going.But on cloudy days,the pigeons with magnets could not find their way.It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic n.
Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees.The incts also em to have a special n of direction.
In spite of the experiments,the idea of an animal compass emed pretty extraordinary.How
would an animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass.
An answer came from an unexpected source.A scientist was studying bacteria that live in the
mud of ponds and marshes.He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in
one direction—north.
Further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of den particles inside,which
proved magnetic.The bacteria had made themlves into little magnets that could line up with the
earth’s magnet.
The big news was that a living thing,even a simple bacterium,can make magnetite.That led
to a arch to e whether animals might have it.. By using a special instrument called magnetometer,scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds,and even in fish.In each
animal,except for the bee.the magnetic stuff was always in or clor to the brain.
Thus.the idea of a built—in animal compass began to em reasonable.
