The Electric Eel Is Very Old.
Certain species of electric fishes
have been known from very early
times. Occasionally we find people
ascribing mysterious powers to
them both of good and evil. It is
certain that the Abyssinians knew
an electric eel and used it “as a
remedy for nervous diseases,” and
the Hindoos and other nations of
the east in times past were also con
scious of its powers. Humboldt de
scribes an old method of capturing
this eel practiced by the East In
dians, wEich consisted in driving
horses into water inhabited by the
eel and allowing the eels to exhaust
themselves by attacking the horses
with their electric organs, when
they were “easily harpooned by the
Indians,” but subsequent travelers
in the same parts where Humboldt
says the custom was practiced have
denied the report, and it is now not
generally believed. However, the
electric eel has been known to
those people for centuries.
