amount of snow has to be shoveled away.
Last May, when the road from Glion, on
Lake Geneva, up to Rocher de Naye was
opened, the cars ran for some distance
between walls of solid compressed snow
twelve to twenty feet high. When the
work began one of the upper stations
had disappeared, and it was supposed
that it had been swept away by the
winter storms A rounded elevation was
recognized as the site of the water tank,
and from this the position Of the station
was determined and excavations were
begun. After digging down six feet the
shovelers struck, not the foundation but
the roof of the station, which was in its
place intact.
