Buller. — Work of Pennsylvania Department 119 



Mr. Rider, of Minnesota: Will deposits of corncobs from canning 

 factories pollute the water to the detriment of the fish? 



Mr. Evans, of Pennsylvania: In a recent canning factory fire in my 

 State a great many cans of stufif were exploded by the heat. The 

 contents fermented in the stream and killed the fish. Corncobs would 

 sour in a similar manner and be a menace to the fish. 



President: I happen to be the author of a somewhat lengthy paper 

 on the pollution of streams. If any member desires to go into the 

 subject I will be glad to mail him a copy on receipt of his address.
