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 roosting 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
it from the bamboo cups in which 1t
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.
