that the cow will not desert her young. A - boat demanding assistance from a rival party must share equally with the party granting assistance. These unwritten laws are universally recognised amongt whalera. A dispute seldom occurs as to the owner ship of tbe whale. Should such a dispute arise, it is always satisfactorily settled according to the code. The whale boat used by the shore parties differs in size and construction from those used by whaling vessels. The former is clinker shaped, sharp at both end?, and is higher out of the water at tbe bow and stern than amidships. It is usually about 30 feet long, narrow in width, and especially adapted for riding upon the surf. A platform is erected at the stern', reaching forward about 6 feet even with the gunwales. To this is attached a cylindrical piece of wood used for checking tho whale line, and it is a custom to ciit a notch in this wood for every whale killed by the boat. THE LOOK-OUT FOR WHALES.

A constant look-out for whales is kept from a Mil near the station, and when a whale is sighted, three or four boats are immediately launched and proceed at iacing speed. The spout of the whale, like a small column of smoke on the horizon, indicates tlie direction to be taken. When the fastest boat reaches the whale, the boat-steerer drives the harpoon straight into the animal, A turn is taken round the loggerhead to check the rapidity with which the line runs out, and the boat flies through the water, forming ridges of foam high above its sides. The skill of the headsman is now shown in steering and in watching the course of the whale. _ Other harpoons are thrown into the animal, which, after divine several times, soon becomes exhausted. The heads. iLan then lets fly his lance into the spot where life is said to be. The animal soon afterward spouts thick blood, and is a sure

prize. This method of catching whales is, however, not so satisfactory or profitable as that pursued by whaling vessels. THE SPKRM WHALE AND ITS CAPTURE. The sperm whale is more frequently met with in the New Zealand waters than any other kind of whale. Mr Eldridge, the first officer of the American barque Janus, infor-

mcd me that during last March, he saw 40 cr 50 of these whales near the East Cape. The sperm whale travels at the rate of four or five miles an hour. Adult females, or those with young in their company, are said to evince a strong affection for each other, and when one is killed or sustains injury, tho parents or companions hover about, and even render assistance. The whalers take advantage of this trait, and kill a number before the others make off. When, how ever, a company of the male whales are found and ono is attacked, all the others desert their wounded companion. The whale will sometimes lie with its mouth wide open for bait for the squid, its princi pal article of food. As soon as the squid is attracted, tho whale's mouth closes upon it like a trap. The sperm whale is known by the act of blowing, whicTi is performed with regularity every ten minutes. The spout sent up can be seen at a distance of three miles. Mr Eldridge tells me that when one i_s sighted the boats leave the ship very quietly, the men making as little noise as possible with their oars and paddles. When struck, the whale generally sounds, or descends to a great depth, taking out the lines belonging to the boats. When spent with the loss of blood, it becomes unable to sound, but passes rapidly along the surface, towing after it the boats. If it does not turn, the men draw in the line and dispatch him. When a whale is killed the boats are fastened to its body and bronght alongside the ship. A hole is cut back of the head, a hook is inserted, and the fat or blubber is cut in long spiral shaped strips and hoisted on deck. The head is then opened and the spermaceti taken out, The|fat is then boiled on board in the furnaces, the scraps serving] as fuel. The oil is then pnt into casks. It is Generally supposed that it is water which the animal propels through its vents, but such is not the case, it propels the vapour of water which con denses as soon as it comes into contact with the cold air. Whales travel the seas in numerous herds of from one to three hundred and they are said to acknowledge a leader who swims in advance and gives the signal of combat or flight. It can remain under water one hour and twenty minutes, some times it leaps into the air fully twenty-five feet and shows its entire body. The neck vertebrae of the sperm whale are fused together. The upper surface of the broad shoe-shaped skull has a large basin-like cavity wherein the spermaceti is lodged.

AMBEBGBIS,

The sperm whale is also remarkable for ambergris, which is sometimes found in it. Ambergris is the most prccions ot all the ingredients used in the manufacture of perfumes. It is supposed to be a morbid secretion of the liver of the spermaceti whale. It is remarkable that the two most piecious products of the sea- ambergris and pearl—are the results of disease. Amber gris is found floating on the ocean, and is sometimes washed ashore, It is said to be a little lighter than water and to bear some resemblance to the bark of a tree. It is described as of a waxy nature, streaked with yellow, grey, and black, and emitting s peculiar aromatic odour. It fuses at 140 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and at a higher temperature gives out a white smoke which condenses in a crystalline fatty matter. It varies in size from one to thirty pounds, bat occasionally pieces are found in whales weighing from one to two hun dred pounds. Its use in the manu facture of perfumes is not so much on account of its fragrance as the peculiar property of causing other ingredi ents to throw out their odours. It is compared in'this respect to mordants in dyes, without which the colour would fail to become permanent. Perfumes that con tain ambergris, are very expensive and those made without it smell of alcohol. It varies in price from £2 10s to £10 per ounce.

THE NEW ZEALAND BEEARDIUS.

Amongst the whales peculiar to this colosy is the New Zealand Berardius, It is a species of Ziphorid whale. One was captured not long ago off the coast of Canterbury. It was described by Dr. Julius Haast as thirty and a half feet lon,*, velvety black, and ereyish belly. The female gives birth to a single young one in the autumn. They feed chiefly on cuttle fish. The skull is moat peculiar in having two crests at the occiput of most unequal size and figure, and the cheek bones at the root ol the beak raised into a pair of huge elevations. The upper jaw is toothless, and the lower jaw has only two or three small concealed teetb, the neck ver tibrae are united, and moreover the stomach is remarkable, even among cetacea, for the number of chambers it contains, there being six or seven divisions.

THK EIGHT WHALE,

The Bight Whale is often caught in the New Zealand waters. In this animal the baleen plates take the place of teetb, and hang suspended from the roof of the month. Captain Grant, of the Horatio, caught, last season, off this coast, a Bight Whale yielding over two tons of whalebone. < The baleen plates vary in size from a few inches to twelve feet length. Their chemical composition is albumen, hardened by phosphate o£ lime. Their colour is blueish black, striped with small fibres, which are carefully scraped off. The plates are then boiled until they are soft enough to cut up. As their colour is unsightly, they are dyed black before being sent to market. The dyeing is generally done during the process of boiling.

EXPORT OF WHALEBONE, WHALE OIL, AND

SPEKM OIIi.

I give below a table showing the quantity and value of whalebone, whale-oil, and sperm oil exported from the various ports of the colony of New Zealand for each year from 1870 to 1880, inclusive :—

AMERICAN WHALEES IN NEW ZEALAND. In 1878 the number of whaling vessels which arrived at the various ports of New Zealand was 13, with an aggregrato tonnage of 3,423 tons. In 1879 the number was 15 and the tonnage 3,792. Captain Fisher, of the American whaling barque Alaska, now at Kussell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, informs me that he has cruised off the coast of these islands for a period of six years, and duriDg that time he has taken over 7,000 barrels of sperm oil, which he thinks is above the amount taken by any other vessel in the same length of time. He took home with him on his last voyage, according to the " New Bedford Bepnblican Standard," the most valuable cargo of sperm oil ever brought to that place, which is a good deal to say, inasmuch as New Bedford is the largest port for whaling vessels in the world.

OPINION OF A HAWEKA RESIDENT.

NEW PLYMOUTH, Tuesday,

A Hawera gentleman writes to the Taranaki " Herald " :—" It is my usual custom to go and see the Plains natives on returning from Faribuka. On the 19th inst I went out and met Titokowaru on returning from Parihaka. From him and others with him, I heard a similar version of TeWhiti's speech to that published in the papers. The old chief was in very low spirits, and said it was impossible to control the young people at Parihaka. Only_ two or three chiefs belonging to the Waimate Plains have returned from Parihaka; not a single native belonging to the south of Waingongoro has yet returned."

ROBBERY FROM ARTHUR'S MART.

Another daring robbery has taken place in Auckland, the victims this time being Messrs Arthur and Sons, auctioneer?, Queen-street. Last night the premises were secured as usual, everything apparently being in safety. On the storeman going Into the Mart this morning, he found the back door open, the bolt haying been drawn from the inside. His suspicion being aroused, he commenced to investigate, and found that a glass show case had been forced open, and £30 worth of watches abstracted therefrom. It is evident that the thief concealed himself about the premises yesterday afternoon, and committed the robbery after the employes had left the store. In. the third storey, which is seldom used, several mat-trasses arc piled in a heap, and from the fact that a picture frame in the vicinity was broken as though from being trod on, it is supposed it was here that tho thief lay perdu. The police were at once communicated with, and, we understand, have got a clue to " their man." Detective Jeffrey left town at mid-day, and something more may be known about the affair on his return.

SCINTILLATIONS.

Free of Charge.—An empty gun. The trial of McGahey for murder is pro ceeding at Hokitika. Mr W. F. fiuckland opens the olection campaign with an address on Tuesday evening in the Otahuhu Public Hall. A satirical innkeeper in Wytheville, Vir ginia, advertises his house as "the only second-class hot«lin the world."'

In Russia "hello" is rendered " Tzija kanfitkrajanjanzski," hence the telephone can never be introduced into that country. Street Sneerer (Sunday): " I snppore the church bells are sounding an alarm of fire?" Passing Preaoher : "Yes, my friend, bnt the fire is not in this world." A private dwelling-house at Geraldine, near Timaru, was totally destroyed by fire yesterday morning. It is believed to be insured for £120 in the Standard office.

Mr Ormond (says a Southern Exchange) is said to own property which brings him in from £30,000 to £40,000 a year. No wonder Mr Ormond bates the property tax. The road-districts in Eden County expect a haul. The Government have been hold ing back a large amount, which is now to be divided,

A foreigner in China can get a discount of one third the price of purchases if he speaks the language. The Chinese have so great a veneration for their native tongue that they pay a tribute of 33 per cent, to the foreigner who talks it. According to latest advices Fred Marshall was at Napier, but not doing a very flourish ing business. A Southern contemporary, speaking of Mr John Sheeban's powers as an orator, says "he hits hard, but always above the belt."

Mr Burgess, the pilot, having been put under the compulsory vaccination regulation aboard the Australia, has since been suffer ing with erysipelas in his arm. He is now recovering. Hot winds have again set in at Canter bury, and fears are entertained that they will throw the young crops very much back. Mr E. Bcrrill, formerly of Auckland, many years ago super-cargo for Captain McKenzie, afterwards in charge of Messrs. Owen and Graham's store at Tonga, has died at that place.

A man named Stewart Hamilton, a boarding-housekeeper at Timaru, ac cidentally shot his wife in the groin on Monday evening with a revolver, inflicting a very ugly wound. The wife was removed to the hospital, where she lies in a precarious state. The capital for a woollen factory has been subscribed at Oatnaru.

A case of scarlet fever having broken out in the family of Mr Heath, Headmaster of the Girls' High School, the Michaelmas holidays of the school have been made to commence from to-day, instead of, as was intended, from Monday next. The patient has been removed from the house, which will be thoroughly fumi gated. The Bey. S. W. Baker, Premier of Tonga, is building a splendid mansion at Nukua. lofa. He has arranged for the Tongan Go vernment to stait the sugar industry, and for a subsidy for a steam service with Auck land. The revenue of the Government this year is large. There are a hundred men killed by getting out of trains in motion for one who is mur dered in a tunnel, but every morning well nigh half the passengers who arrive in the city are on the platform before the train has stopped. Messrs Grant and Foster s agent is calling tenders for six three-roomed cottages at Te Aroha, to be occupied by labourers who will shortly commence operations. The contract for the new Opera-House has been signed, and Mr C. Wright, the contractor, will commence to execute the necessary excavations on Monday next,

Two sharks were observed disporting themselves around a dead carcase in the harbour below the Bailway Wharf, this afternoon.

To daj's ■' Thames Advertiser" says: The retirement of Mr E. C, J. Stevens, member for Christchurch City, announced in our telegram?, will leave an opening for the senior member for the Thames, which, it is understood, he |has been looking for. The hon. memqer for Kaiapoi, Mr C. C. Bowen, alao retues, bat that constituency would be too risky, whilst Mr Stevens and Mr Kichardson, the members for Christ church City, were opposed at the last general elections by Sir George Grey. The retirement of Meesrs Stevens and Bowen will create a blank in the ranks of Minis terial supporters not easily supplied." ' It is to be hoped that the city authorities will take steps to improve the drainage in i that part of Symonds-street which extends from Wellesley-street to the Choral Hall before the summer sets in. In one place there is a subterranean spring, and the con stant flow of water which proceeds from it finds an outlet at the inner edge of the asphalted footpath, which, in consequence, is kept constantly saturated, to the incon venience especially of lady pedestrians, besides proving a source of annoyance to the residents in the neighbourhood. On Sundays especially the nuisance is greatly felt, for the footpaths are then thronged both morning and evening by people either going to or returning from , the various places of worship which are reached via Symonds-street. The matter was brought before the City Council a fortnight ago on petition, and it was resolved to undertake the work in its turn. This might be fair and just enough in regard to a project involving a large expenditure, but in the case of effecting slight re pairs for the promotion of public comfort, the delay is unnecessary and vexatious. The residents in the locality have repre- Bented their grievance again and again, ana now that the Council have affirmed the desirability of removing it, they should move in the matter without further delay. la exceptional cases of this character, where no doubt can exist as to the urgency of re pair, the public in general and the neigh bouring ratepayers in particular have a rbht to expect that the convenience ot the majority should be studied in preference to the wants of the few.
