IMMORTALISING A
WHALE
Special Expedition To Secure Specimen.
FOR LONDON MUSEUM
London.
The Natural History Museum at Kensington has a new exhibition hall for whales. It is 120 feet long, and the Museum authorities now want a model of a really large whale for it..
It is therefore hoped that an ex-| padítion will be sent out next Spring | into Arctic waters in search of a suitable specimen.
When this is harpooned, killed and
搞 approved, it will be towed into
Norwegian shipyard, where, under the supervision of Mr. Stammwitz, whale expert of the Museum, plaster casts will be taken. The leviathan will be put in dry dock, and its | vertebrae pierced in four places by steel tubes to which hawsers will be. attached. Cranes will then raiso the creature, which will probably be more than 80 feet long and weigh- ing as many tons.
The modellers will adjust the hawsers until the exact contours of
ja whale afloat are attained, Then
