SWITzERLAND-FRANCE
IN TORID HEAT WAVE
Suffering and Injury to Harvests in
Europe. The Thermometer Has
Reached 12O Degrees.

Observation-Disclosures has been
suffering from a magnetic heat wave
for four days. The telegraph lines
have been greatly disturbed.
The heat has been so intense that
two Alphinists were seen yesterday
on the Mer de Glaze (the sea of ice)
near Chamonix, clad only in paja-
mas.
FRANCE is SIZZLING.
PARIS.-France has been suffer-
ing from excessive heat for a week.
Reports from the provinces say
that the extremely warm weather IS
injuring the harvests. At Lyons the
thermometer reached 100 degrees.
Heavy rains fell here today, but
gave only slight relief.
Never during the last five years,
even when the long-range guns were
busiest and enemy airplanes were
bombing the city every night, has
Paris presented such a deserted ap-
pearance. This is due to the extreme
heat. 1t is estimated that more than
100000 people have left the capital,
