IMPROVEMENT IN THE HARPooN.-" Villanous
satpetre," it seems, is about to be introduced
even in the whale fishery. new harpoon has
been invented by Mr.. Albert Moore, of Maine,
the fiuke and shank of which open by hinge,
and admit the Introduction into the fluke, and un-
der the shank, of small vial of explosive pow
der, which is then shut up and fastened by a
wooden pin. AS soon as the harpoon is thrown
into the whale, the wooden pin is broken by the
force of the whale pulling upon the tow line the
fuke opens, the turning of the hinge breaks the
vial, and producing friction, the powder explodes
and kills the whale.
