ELECTRICITY APPLIED TO THE CAPTURE OF WHALES
we had an opportunity on SATURDAY. to witness some
interesting experiments performed under the direction
OF Mr.. y. A. HeIneken, an intelligent merchant OF
Bremen, Germany, visit in this city, illustra-
ting the effect of electricity facilitate the pture Of
the whale. The subject first brought to the mo-
tce of Mr. Heneken by the discourses of Dr. Somers-
burg, professor of natural history, and Mr. Ruckstan
in Bremen, as presenting important advantages over
the mode hitherto employed in the whale fishery.
The most prominent features of the method pro-
posed may be briefly enumerated as follows:
That every whale at the moment of being struck
with the harpoon Is rendered powerless, as by a
stroke of lightning, and therefore his subsequent es-
cape or loss, except by sinking. is wholly impractical
BILE; and the process of lancing and securing him is
entirely unattended with danger The arduous labor
involved in long chase in the capture of The whale
is superseded, and consequently the Inconvenience
and danger of the boats losing sight of becoming
separated from the ship are avoided. One two
boats only would be required to be lowered a
time, and therefore less number both of officers and
seamen than heretofore employed would be ample for
the purposes of the voyage.
The electricity is conveyed to the body of the whale
from electro galvanic battery contained in the boat
by means of metallic wire attached to the harpoon,
and arranged to reconduct the electric current
from the whale through the sea to the machine. The
machine tselfis simple and compact in construction,
enclosed in strong chest weighing about $50 pounds,
and occupying space in the boat of about three and
half feet long by two feet in width and the same In
height 1t is capable of throwing into the body OF
the whale ght Tremendous strokes of electricity in
second, or $50 strokes in a minute paral lying in
an instant the muscles of the whale and depriving it
of all power OF motion, if not actually of life.
Mr.. HeiReken, although at first dislncned to place
much reliance upon the proposed advantages to be de-
rived from this discovery has subsequently, become
in great measure convert to the theory, and at the
urgent solicitations of practical whaemen in his
poy from the port of Bremen, has recently placed the
apparatus board of two whale-ships in which he
is interested owner, from that port He is desi-
of submitting the subject of the discovery to the
consideration of practical whalemen and others in this
city. with view of procuring further tests of its eff
cheney. NeaU Bedford Mercury.
