A FISHING QUESTIONNAIRE.

On this subject an admirable list of questions has been drawn up by the Fishing Gazette in order to find out how far the lowness of the water, which is general, has affected the degree of pollution. There seems to be some reason to fear that drinking supplies, for stock as well as for domestic use, are endangered not less than the fish. Any information on the subject would do good service. The lowness of the water is a new fact that certainly doubles the risk of pollution from whatever source. To show how easily water may be infected, an experience of last winter, will make clear.
