KILLING WHALES BY ELEcTRIcIrY The
"New Bedford Mercury " describes a pro-
cess invented by Professors Somersburg and
Buxton, of Bremen, and brought forward at
New Bedford by Mr.. Heineken, an inielli-
gent merchant Of Bremen, for killing whales
al the moment Of striking them with the
harpoon, by means of electricity. The OBJ
ject Of the expedient is TO produce an i'm.
mediate paralysis Of the vital powers of the
whale at the moment at which it is struck,
so as to obviate the danger, the labor, and
the hazard Of loss, from the struggles of the
whale after he is struck. The process is
thus described by the "Mercury";
"The electricity is conveyed 10 the body
Of the whale from an electro galvanic bai-
terry contained in the harpoon. and so arrang.
ed as 10 re-conduct the electric curreE; from
the whale through the sea to the machine.
The machine itselfis a simple and compact
in construction. enclosed in a 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 II is capable Of thowing into
the body of the whale eight tremendous
strokes of electricity in a second, or $50
strokes in minute, paralyzing in an instant
the muscles of the whale and depriving it
OF all power Of motion, il not actual life. I"
The object of Mr., Ileineker is TO bring
the invention 10 the notice of practical
whalemen at New Bedford, with view Of
introducing it into use. The apparatus has
been put on board oil two whalemen from
Bremen, for the purpose of experiment, but
it docs not appear that there has been yet
opportunity of testing its efficacy. --Baiti-

bles a sponge, which imbibes everything,
and retains it nearly in the same state, only
a little dirlier. A third class is Ike Jelly
