HEAT WAVE.
BRITAIN’S WORST. LONDON HOTTER THAN CAIRO. CONTINENT ALSO SUFFERING, By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received July 13, 7.55 p.m. London, July 12. Though the drought is likely to be remembered as the worst in British records its seriousnese is largely forgotten in the suffering through the intense heat. London is as hot as Cairo in the daytime and hotter at night. The position is made worse by widespread firee on the moorlands and commons, filling the air with smoke. Many conventions are being dropped. Judges and counsel are discarding their wigs, and Parliamentary Committees are working in their shirt-sleeves. Paris is suffering to an even greater extent from the heat wave. A military review in connection with the national festival was abandoned, while numbers of both sexes have been fined for dressing too scantily to meet the heat conditions. Belgium is also in the throes of the heat wave.—United Service.
