ing the steps in the ice through the Trough. My fears were well founded. More than half of the steps were not only filled but entirely covered and obliterated, so that it was impossible to locate them. There were several places from fifty to a hundred feet wide or more between the powders along the side of the Trough where there was no sign of any footing, and if one should start to slip it was hard to see just where one might expect to stop. The only certain place appeared to be down near Glacier lake, some 2,000 feet below.
 "In these places I made steps by re- peated kicks with my heel at the same time making hand holds higher up with my hands in the crusty snow.
 Fortunately, l was able to find the steps in that portion of the side of the Trough that was covered with ice. In one place 1 attempted to go down over- powder by lowering myself feet first, but after getting so far that swung freely below the chest I found it impossible to find safe footing and had to climb up again over the bowl der. As this powder was located in position with a steep crusty snow slope below it, the climbing up was at- tended with some danger, and espe- cially so as the first part of the climb ing consisted of a series of kicks and WriggleS in an attempt to lift my clothing clear of the rough powder and to move forward at the same time until I could bring my foot or knee into action.

Three Forms of Anthrax.

Anthrax may occur in human beings in three forms-external, intestinal or pulmonary. The external form is caused by an abrasion of the skin com ing in contact with hide or other ob- ject infected with the disease. Intes. tinal anthrax may be caused by the eating of food containing the bacilli, and the pulmonary variety by breath ing infected air
 This latter disease has long been known as wool sorters disease" in England, where great quantities of sheep belts are sorted and graded. The disease has also long been we'll known in the wool and hide trades in this country and especially on the sheep ranges of the southwest.

W. iNOI OL CulCdRO recent b ly made an unusually danger
 ous ascent of Longs peak,
 the giant of the new Rocky Mountain national park, and has gwen details of the exploit in a letter to a friend.
 Longs peak, which is 14,255 feet high, was considered unclimbable for many years. Its summit is reached by passing from Boulder field, which lies 12,00O feet up, through an opening in the rocky wall known as Keyhole out upon the side of sharp-angled slope covered with perpetual ice and snow, which slants from near the summit far down the mountain side to end in a nearly precipitous drop of a good deal more than a thousand feet into Gla- cier gorge.
 This is called the Trough and it is ascended by steps cut in the ice and snow, which are frequently obliterated by fresh snowfalls and must be re- newed continually. So far, none of the hardy scalers of the summit, which include, by the way, an in- creasing number of women, has lost control on this dangerous slope, though stories are whispered of occa- sional slips caught just in time.
 MT. Roper, while ascending the low CT levels met four young men, two of them with frozen feet, who had been held overnight on the summit by snow squall obliterating the steps too late in the day to enable them to cut new ones on their descent.
 In the Face of a Gale.
 AS there was heavy snow on the summit of Longs peak the night after
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-02-02

l arrived at the inn" writes Mir. Roper, T was advised not to attempt the as cent for several days on account of the danger. 1 therefore waited until the fourth day after the snow. Start ing about seven in the morning, 1 rode alone and without guide to Boulder field, where the horse was left. I had some description of the appearance of the Keyhole, and 1t had been suggest ed that perhaps I would find difficulty in getting by the snow in the Trough and might do better to climb the bowl ders along the side. The geological survey map constituted the rest of my information about the ascent.
 Walking across Boulder field I was somewhat sheltered from the wind, which was blowing gale from the southwest. On reaching the Keyhole I found the wind blowing against me so strong that could hardly stand. therefore retraced a few steps. sat down in the lee of a projecting rock and ate portion of my lunch. It was so cold that there appeared to be no prospect of rain at higher attitudes, and I therefore left at this point my knapsack, containing my raincoat, the remainder of my lunch and a few oth CT incidentcls.
 Cutting Steps in the Ice.
 After leaving the Keyhole the gen. eral direction of the trail was indi- cated by few cairns, but they were very scarce. The footprints in the snow of party that had made the as cent the previous day were of consid- erable assistance and particularly so in the Trough, where l found their steps cut in the ice and crusty snow. I did not have to cut more than six or eight steps, and as l had nothing that could be used for the purpose except my hunting knife this was very fortu- nate.
 The ascent from the Keyhole to the summit required an hour and thir- ty minutes. In the Trough l was on all fours about half the time and did considerable climbing over and amongst the bowlders I would char acterize the ascent as dangerous rath- CT than difficult. There was nc snow of any consequence except in the Trough, although the notes in the register on the summit showed that the party had found two inches on the summit the previous day.
 '1 had taken opportunity to enjoy the many magnificent views on the way up the peak, and it was fortunate that did so, as I there found a storm gathering, the clouds being about on the level with the summit of the peak and snow starting to fall. l made slight tou: of the summit and then located and examined the register of the Colorado Mountain club.
 Fighting a Snow Storm.
 "The snowfall rapidly increased, so that in twenty minutes after reaching the summit I started the descent, as feared difficulty due to the snow cover
