LAKE ELLESMERE.
To the Editor.
Sir,-—I see in your issue of Friday a letter from Mr Coop, stating that the lake has risen without the help of sea or rain, and that parts of the wnter are very little impregnated with salt. About the sea Mr Coop must have been misinformed. I have had to watch the sea for some time, having some cementing to be done about the level of waves at high water in a rough sea, and I must inform Mr Coop that I never remember such a continuan.-e of heavy rollers from the nouth-east at this titne of year. The small amount of salt in the water i 3 easily accounted for. The railway separates the fresh water from the salt, which cm only communicate by meanß of a few culverU, and Mr Coop has evidently tested the water on the land side of tbe rail way.—Yours, etc., M.
