LONDON, February 12;

In the midst lies the collapsed framework of the gasometej., ,'liEe, a.-.hug e spider’s web. Houses immediately opposite have 'been blasted Jiilto ' 'their original elements. - Shattered, stumps of trees flank tilie. roadways, which are littered by wreckage and the carcases of pigs. The'explosion left a huge crater, filled with buckled plates and twisted girders.
