LONDON, Oct. 23.%Lp-Unroofed

miniature tornado which swept upon
London last night with a violence
rarely experienced in England.
IL had been raining steadily but
was otherwise fairly calm when peo-

tiles and bricks.
Oxford Circus and the %neighboring
streets were the center of the

blown in. Goods and dressmakers'

Passing omnibuses rocked like
ships on a stormy sea to the terror
Of passengers. Two of these huge
automobiles were stopped and driven
backwards by the force of the wind.
The wind lifted off a large part
Of the roof the Labor Exchange and
dropped it into the street.
Signs hanging over the street were
torn off by the hundreds.
Only two persons were, injured.
