What reading level is America Illustrated book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The present pay of light-house keepers varies according to the importance of the light and the responsibility put upon the keeper. The Congressional appropriation covers an average salary of NIAGARA FALLS. 37 six hundred dollars per annum. The keeper of Minot's Ledge, on the Massachusetts coast, receives $ 1, 000, while some keepers receive but $350.
The cost of light-houses varies as much as the salaries of the keepers. Some light-houses cost ten thousand dollars ; Minot's Ledge light cost t...wo hundred and fifty thousand, the building of this structure being attended with great difficulty. General Alexander, who superintended the con- struction of the present tower, was able to get but thirty hours of work done the first year, and one hundred and fifty-seven hours the second. No part of the rock was ever uncovered for more than a few minutes at a time.
On the Atlantic coast it is the aim of engineers to have the lights as high as is consistent with safety, while on the Pacific coast the high rocks and cliffs compel the erection of the light-houses almost too high for effective use.
