1hsensibility of Sharks to Pain.

Land and Water gives the follow.
ing, which shows what an unfeeling
creature the shark must be: The Es.
quimaux are in the bal it of catching
sharks both with nets, baited with
salt meat, and with hook and line.
They are hunted for the sake of the
oil which is expressed from their
livers, and for q substance very much
like spermaceti, which is obtained
under pressure from their flesh. Sir
Leopold McCliutock says the Esqui-
maux assert that the shark is insensi-
bic to pain. and that Petersen, who
was his interpreter in the voyage of
the Fox related how be had plunged
. long knife into the head of one
which was feeding on q white whale
entangled in his net, but that the brute
continued its repast Notwithstanding.
As Sir Leopold remarks, it must be
remembered that the brain of shark
is extremely small compared with the
size of its huge head, and be says
that be himself has seen bullets fired
through them with very little appar.
ent effect; but that if these creatures
can feel, the devices practiced upon
them by the Esquimaux must be cruel
indeed. The dogs Of the hunters are
not allowed to eat either the skin or
tho head, the former being very rough
and the latter producing giddiness
and sickness.
