It cut a swith £0 rods wide for over three miles. Those not in its direct path saw a huge, black, funnel-shaped cloud come swirling through the air and heard a terrific roar, which lasted only about one minute, but at the end of that min ute the whole aspect of the country- slide for over three miles was changed from that of a peaceful Ontario farm scene in haying time to a most dis- tressing" picture of desolation. Whole orchards were jerked out by their roots end stood wrongside u huge trees were broken and the deb: s from buildings was scattered for 'miles. Over a dozen barns were torn to pieces and several houses very bad- ly damaged. The house owned by J.

London, Ont.--Western Ontario suf- fered heavily in a storm which swept a belt about 28 miles wide, coming off Lake Huron between Sarnia and God- erich and working eastward through London, striking Lake Erie around Port Dover.

Toklo.--The recent heavy rains in Hiroshima, Yamaguchi and Wakay- ama prefectures caused landslides which crushed the walls of many This number has not been verified, however. The rainfall in Western Japan is the heaviest in years, inun- dating farms and houses and washing away bridges. The water is reported to be subsiding. Because of interruption to com- munications, no check is possible of first estimates yesterday that 4,500 houses had been destroyed. The prefectures, which are on the main island of Hondo, have a total population of approximately 3,600,000, largely engaged in cultivating farms of two or three acres. The regions are mountainous and are traversed by small streams which become torrents in rainy seasons.
