SUCCESSFUL RESULTS APPLICATION OF ELEc.
TRIcIrY IN THE WHALE FIsHERY.-We alluded several
weeks since certain experiments by Mr. f. A. Hene-
KEN of Bremen TO test the applicability OF electricity as
OF facilitating the capture of whales Mr H. has
recently received intelligence from Bremen which IS OF
much interest, relating the success OF this invention
practically tested on board the Bremen wbaleship
Averick Heneken, Captain Georken. The Avenck
Hcineken left the river Weser in July last for The pachc

Sizes order ascertain the degree OF power necessary

Captain Georken, in letter dated New Zealand, De-
cember l3, 1851, writes as follows:
"The FIRST experiment made with the new inven-
ton was upon shark, applying the electricity from the
machine with one magnet The fish after being struck
instantly turned lis sde and alter we had poured
upon him stream OF electricity for few moments by
turning the handle OF the machine the shark became si

The foregoing report certainly speaks well for the

on the subject.

College Discipline.

There has been trouble in Brown univer-
sity, and three OF the Professors, admitted to be
among the most efficient teachers in the inSti,u-
tion, have resigned their offices. The causes
are yariously stated to the public, but we hear
from many quarters that dictatora and over
bearing disposition on the part of President
WAyLANp, and an unwillingness on the part of
the resigning Professors TO act as spies against
the students, Were prominent in originating the
difficulty
Whatever be the facts connected with this af-
fair, and we do not here seek TO inquire into
them, we see no reason for doubling that not
only Brown University, but others among our
higher institutions Of learning would be more
profitable TO the public could the character Of
their discipline be elevated into something more
toleIable to a manly nature. We are aware OF
the difficulty of managing large bodies of young
men, removed, as the mass OF students in our
colleges OF necessity are, from the best and
most genuine restraints OF social life. We un.
deTstand very well that young heads have not
the gravity OF old ones, and that the genial and
bsnehcen' gayety OF youthful spirits will some
times manifest Itself in an announcement way.
And II Is probable that with the wisest Efforts
of the directors OF a college, there Will be occa
SIGNAL instances otexceeding perverseness among
those under their instruction But these facts
do no, settle the matter. Tia question still re-
mains. of how such diiheuln, can best he over.
cone. In other words, Shat college students be
treated hike men. or like IL errors and suspected
rogues
Reason and experience would seem 10 decide
in favor Of treating them like men. Such treat
n.nt may make men Of them, but the opposite
cannot No amount of puing and watching
can do more than provoke rebellion and stlmu-
late deceit. That is not grateful nor useful
spectacle which an institution OF learning pre-
sen's, where score of youngsters are running
a race in trickery with score of professors,
some OF them, perhaps, endowed with gray hairs
and ,itles OF reverend dignity each party doing
The utmost 10 outwit and en,rap the other. In
such case, If one feel any sympathy, il Is sure
TO be with the boys, for they not only have the
anier side, but are playing agains, The odds OF
organization. experience and cunning trained at
The business. There is 20 good reason why the
relations Of students and professors should be OF
his Kind, except the fact that they have been so
heretofore be good reason The true senti-
nent TO be cultivated between College teachers |
