What reading level is By Water to the Columbian Exposition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Near our halting place there stood a loftytower, whose illuminating apparatus threw a radiant, vari-colored light onthe dark surface of Lake Huron.
Upon expressing a desire to visit the Light Tower, Mr. James, who neverleft any of our wishes unfulfilled, immediately made arrangements with thekeeper; and, accordingly, we were invited to intrust ourselves to hisguidance.
He informed us that the structure rested on a foundation consisting of aconcrete mass, nine feet below the water line. Having a...scended fourflights of iron-wrought winding stairs, we reached the top of the circularstructure; it having a diameter of twenty-four feet at its base, andrising to an elevation of fifty-seven feet.
With great interest we inspected the revolving lights, exhibiting aningenious piece of machinery, the invention of Finisterre and Barren inParis, and representing a value of $1, 800. This apparatus for rotatinglamps is far superior to that for a fixed light.
The characteristic of the latter is to constantly illuminate the wholehorizon, requiring all the rays to fall simultaneously on the navigabletrack, whereas the demands made of a revolving light, are not nearly sogreat; only each point of the horizon being lighted at successive periods.
