Animals Under Fire.
The reactions of animals to bomb explosions during air raids in Britain are described in a letter received by an Auckland resident. It states that horses show the greatest alarm and are nervous and unsettled for hours after explosions in their neigh bourhood. Cows display a less marked reaction, .while sheep reveal an enviable placidity. They arc to be seen grazing quietly within a few minutes of bomb bursts in their paddock.
