Some of the mountain railroads IN

their upper parts, and to do this an
enormous amount OF snow has to bs

road from Gilon. on Lake Geneva, up
to Rocher de NIye was opened. the
cars ran for some distance between
walls of solid compresseds ow twelve
to twenty feet high. When the work
began one of the upper stations had
disappeared and it was supposed that
i, aad been ept away by the winter
slvrms A rounded elevation was
recognized as the 81 eof water tank,
and from this the pos ton of the sta
ton was determined and excavations
were begun After digging down six
feet the shove ers struck, not the
fourdatio !, but the roof of the station,
which was in its pla:e intact
