Suppose London were Caught in a Blizzard

What ; would happen if London! were suddenly caught in such a blizzard as that which' has overwhelmed New York? In tl at- city, prepared as it is for heavy falls of snow, 500 corpses have accumulated 'uhbari'pd,, owing to the impossibility of reaching 1 the ' cemeteries. But in London the dead might be left without a thought; The feeding of the living would absorb every energy. The who'e city, if the snow did not melt, might become one- gigantic mausoleum of the millions of its inhabitants. When we read of the digeing out of corpses standing frozen in the street where the snow overwhelmed them, we are reminded of the destruction of Pompeii and Hercu laneuni where the people were entombed beneath ashes. ■ Snow is as deadly and ? more merciful. How seldom we reflect that a. snowstorm may be as deadly as a volcano, and a single blizzard more fatal than an eruption of Vesuvius! Two days' heavy snow- with frost following would disorganise civilisation and decima c tbe population.— Pall Mall Gazette. Ghat BFtrL' Women.
