In fact, their life is similar to that led by Keepers of off-shore light houses, only the cold is much greater at there with greater velocity than at any Hght-house. The work of these men, though constant, is not as a rule, ssvere They have, however, certain duties which are both dangerous and unpleas ant su h as replacing the anemometers, carrying the mails to the base, and read ng the rain sauge in cold and windy wenther. The anemometer is on the top of the peaked roof, and when the tem perature is low and the weather foguy, the frostwork forms so rapidly that the cups have to be taken down every two hours. To do this is sometimes almost an impossibility. Tostand with the wind above seventy miles an hour is difficult, and, when the velocity is over 100, to hold on to the roof and change the cup is an operation that requires both streapth and courage The men sometimes have hard work to carry the for, with a strong wind, they often have to crawl on their hands Kuees over the HE covered trestle work There are two minis and supply depots between the summit and the hase | and in these the ma carriers can find shelter and food w overtaken by storm.
