FLYING FOXES OF INDIA.
During the Day They Sleep In Trees,
Hanging Head Downward.

During the Day They Sleep In Trees,
Hanging Head Downward.
People who have lived in India are
familiar with the long strings Of flying
foxes which can often be seen vending
their way in single file from their
sleeping places in remote trees to the
fruit gardens upon which they prey.
These curious creatures. says a writ
er in the Wide World Magazine. some
times measure as much as four feet
across the wings and have reddish
brown fur and mole colored wings.
After their nocturnal depredations they
fly away with the dawn to a tree in
some isolated place and there rest dur
ing the day. hanging head downward
from the boughs in the manner of bats.
clutching the branch with their feet.
AS the flying foxes gather OH the tree
selected there is a tremendous cOmmo-
ton. for each newcomer is vigorously
driven off from one place after another
until he eventually manages to secure
a perch for himself. Those on the tree
meanwhile keep up Sill incessant wran-
Cling each endeavoring TO secure the
highest and best place to rest on.
Sometimes many hundreds of these de-
structive creatures may be seen hang
ing from the branches Of large tree.
When opportunity offers they are Of
ten shot, and some of the natives con-
slider their flesh a delicacy. though 1t
hardly appeals TO Europeans.
