PYTHON IN SACK
LONDON DISCOVERY FOUND IN STREET A schoolboy playing in Primrose Hill, a narrow street leading from Salisbury Square, E.C., on a recent evening, found a sack in which was a python 9ft. in length. A policeman was called, and the python was taken to Snow Hill police station. Later a keeper was sent from the zoo authorities to take charge of it. The boy who made the discovery said he put his hand into the sack and pulled out the snake. It was so heavy that he could not lift it. This is the second discovery of its kind in London within a few weeks. Recently a constable found a snake in a glass case in the front garden of a Sydenham houge. It was removed to the Forest Hill Museum
