UNUSUAL WEATHER.
BRITAIN'S SNOW! AND SUNSHINE. United Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, April 13. The freakishness of the weather has intensified as the holidays continued. Aii-liners between London and the Continent to-day flew alternately in brilliant sunshine and thick . snowstorms, causing many of the planes to be late, including an Air France liner, which spent half an hour above Croydon before the abatement of a snowstorm -enabling a landing to be made. It was a nerve-racking day for the pilots, some of whom passed into blazing sunshine with their planes covered with snow, and then re-entered sleet. Two British planes yesterday struck electrical storms, one disabling the wireless and the other disabling the compass, making it necessary for both to descend, though the occupants were not affected.
