LONDON AFTER DARK
LONDON, May 26. (/P)—London, the
world’s largest city, is still bothered
by wild animals now and then owing
to its rapid extension into the rural
districts.
Wild animals, driven from their na
tive hounts by the house builder come
back at night to prowl about, making
weird noises, which often alarm the
j unsophisticated residents, who are
mostly city reared.
