GREAT DUST CLOUD.
SYDNEY OVERSHADOWED. CALE OF CYCLONIC FORCE. (Received October 7, 5. IS p.m.) SYDNEY, Oct. 7. Heavy winds recently lifted large quantities of dust from tho parched areas in tho West. Theso formed an awesome cloudbank like a fog and overshadowed tho city yesterday morning. Finally the cloud passed eastward in the direction of New Zealand. A sweltering heat wave to-day, accentuated bv the hot, blustering, dust-laden wind from tho interior plains, rendered outings extremely unpleasant. Later in the afternoon the gale was of a cyclonic force for some time and caused great damage in many suburbs. Buildings were unroofed in some instances and the roofs carried away boddy, landing in a collapsed condition hundreds of yards away. Windows in the city suffered severely.
