On Pike's Peak. A traveler who climbed the snow-cov¬ ered mountain one day in July, found the officer in charge of tho Sigual Ser¬ vice station melting snow. “Even in the heat of summer,” he said, “there is always enough snow to furnish all the water needed.” “Does not life become weary and desolate here, so far from the world?" “So much so that I sometimes fear it will drive me crazy. My duties are light; they require only an occasional inspection of the instruments. The rest of the time I can only read. Too much reading becomes wearisome. Some¬ times I stand at the window with my telescope. The wind without is keen and cutting as a knife. I can see the houses of Colorado Springs, sitting in twenty their miles away, the visitors shirt-sleeves, sipping iced drinks to keep cool, and ladies walking about in white summer robes. I lower the glass; the summer scene is gone. Green trees, an¬ imal life, men and women, fade away like creatures in a dream, and I am the only living thing in a world of eternal ice and snow and science.” ONE DOLLAR will pay for Weekly New Orleans Picayune for a year.
