ELECTRICITY APPLIED TO THE CAPTURE OF WHALES
We had an opportunity on Saturday TO witness in
ieestng experiments performed under the direction OF
MIR. c. A. Heineken, intelligent merchant OF Bremen,
Germany visit in this city, illustrating the ef.
feet OF electricity TO facilitate the capture of the whale
The subject first brought TO the notice of Mr. Heine-
ken by the dscourses of Dr. Somersburg professor OF
natural history, and Mr. Ruckstan in Bremen, as pre-
senng important advantages over the mode hitherto
poyed in the whale fishery. The most prominent iea.
OF the method proposed may be briefly emu.
meraied as follows:
That every whale at the moment OF being struck with
the harpoon is rendered powerless, by stroke OF
lightning, and therefore his subsequent escape loss
except by sinking, is wholly mpactcable aud the pro.
OF lancng and securing him Is entirely unattended
with danger. The arduous labor involved in a long
chase in the capture OF the whale in superseded and
consequently the Inconvenience and danger OF the boats
losing sight OF becoming separated from the ship are
avoided One boats only would be required 10 be
lowered al 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 10 the body OF The whale
from electro galvanc battery contained in the boat by
OF metallic wire attached to The barpoon, and
arranged to reconduct the electric current from the
whale through the 10 the machine. The machine it..

strokes OF electricity IN second, or $50 strokes in min

and deprving II OF all power OF motion, II not actually OF
