permitted them to return to their

This is a somewhat unusual pro-
ceeding. for it has rarely been re-
ported so cold in Hawaii that chill
dren could not study. The Waianae
school has no windows. only shutters,
glass having been unnecessary up to
the present. On Monday night it was
not particularly cold. but yesterday
morning the wind shifted at Waiana9
and brought a drop in temperature.

LONDON IN A FOG.
4 Weird Day of Dense G1oom In the
English Metropolis.

English Metropolis.
he knew his London we'll. We went
forth into fog that was Of the pea
soup variety. It seemed useless to
wait any longer for 1t to clear of. The
days we're all alike and were darker
than twilight ever dared to be. cIung
to Prentice Mulforoi's coat sleeve, for
I knew if he were once to get beyond
my reach could never hope to find
him again. We CROPPED blindly among
the streets, where the atmosphere was
only less palpable than the houses that
walled us in. At intervals we INQUIRED
where we were, for otherwise we could
never have known at all. We had to
feel our way carefully and take sound
mgs at intervals Here, said Prem
tee as we paused in space; there is
Temple Bar" / thought saw some
thing that might have been the ghost
Of an arch hewn out of the solid fog.
The*top of it, though it was not lofty,
was lost to view. Temple Bar, now
gone forever from the place where it's
gates once swung in the wall of the.
majesty Queen Victoria of England
was wont to receive the keys of the
city from the hands of the lord mayors
when she drove in state to st. Paul's
cathedral. We threaded Fleet street,
but could not see to the farther shore
Here is her majesty's tower" said
Prentice, but nothing Of 1t was visible,
not one stone upon another. We cross
ed London bridge almost without
knowing it. The waters of the Thames,
which are but condensed fog, were in
visible from the parapet, and the steam
ferries were picking their way eau
Hously and looking very like marine
monsters in a muddy aquarium. We
crawied through the tunnel for foot
traffic under the Thames, which was
like hole in the fog and for hours
carried the sky about on our shoulders
It was awoolly, greasy and ill smelling
sky. Our nostrils were clogged with
cinders, like chimney fues, and there
We're smudges all over our faces
Sometimes for a moment or two we
saw spot overhead that was like a
pale red wafer, and we knew 1t for
the sun, now lost to us. The lamps
that burned all day were like glow
worms for dimness, and so we explor-
ed the wonders of the town and saw
as much OF it as blind man sees, but
no more.-Charles Warren Stoddard in
National Magazine.
