Philippine Bats.

Among the curious inhabitants of the Philippines. according to Prof. Clinton. of Washington, are fruit eating bats. some of which are nearly as large as cats, with wings three feet in extent.
 During the day these curious crea. lures remain hanging from the branches of trees in roasting places. where they congregate by the hun. dreds. They avoid the thtick forests, and sometimes roost in lone tree on the plains.
 At twilight they become animated and attack the fruit orchards and cocoanut groves. They are fond of the juice from which the natives make tuba, or palm beer, and drink 1t from the bamboo cups in which it has been collected. Sometimes the juice has begun to ferment, and then the bats are intoxicated by it. and fall helpless upon the ground. to be killed by their enemies in the morn ing.

FORMER PHOENIX MAN
 MAY QUIT RAILROAD
Rumor That E. W. GilIett Will Take
 Up New Line of Business.

E. w Gillett, formerly a prominent Phoenix man, who during his residence here was identified with the Santa Fe railroad in the capacity of general agent, but who for some years has been with the Salt Lake road, may sever his connections with railroading and enter different field of business, according to d dispatch to the Los Angeles Ex- aminer from Salt Lake City. The dis patch says:
 l.. w. Gillett may sever his connec- ton with the Salt Lake route to accept a more important and lucrative posi- tion with one of the big industrial con- cerns of California and Utah.
 While MT. Gillett has not yet sent in his formal registration as general freight and passenger agent of the new road, the matter is in abeyance and the fact that he has received a flattering offer is known to his close friends and associates. He declined abso utely to- night to discuss the matter. except to say that his headquarters would remain
