Heoplo who have lived In India are familiar with the long string of flying foxes which can often be seen wending their way In single lUe from their sleeping-places In remote trees to the fruit gardens upon they prey. These curious creatures, says a writer in tho February Wide World Magazine, sometimes measures as much as four feet across the wings, and have reddish- brown fur and mole-colored wings. A fter their nocturnal depredations they fly away with the dawn to a tree In some isolutcd place, and there rent during the day, hanging head dow ward from the boughs In the nui oner of bats, clutching the branch with their feet.

As tho flying foxes gat her on th tree selected there iw a tremendous commotion, for each newcomer Is vigorously driven off from one place ufier another tint II be eventually manages to neeure a perch for hlm.ielf. Those on the tret meanwhile keep up an luceasnnt wrangling, each endeavoring to secure the highest and best place to rent on. Sometimes many hundreds of these destructive creatures may be seen hanging from the branch of a large tree. When opportunity offers they are often shot, and some of the natives consider their flesh a delicacy, though It hardly appeaN to Kit ropeans. When the foxes start their fliKht Iti the early hours of the morning they frequently swoop ilown Into any water Is handy, and when on the wing do not fly in flocks, but follow each other In single tile, flying with a peculiar, elow, mejuircd sweep of the wing.

NEW RAILS LAID ON ENTIRE TRACKAGE Public Service Company is Helping to Improve the City Rapidly. SALISBURY, Feb. 7. Among the important enterprises in this section of tho state, which has perhaps made a large percentage of Increase In the wuy of physical development during the ptist year, is tho North Carolina Public Hervlce company, owners and operators of the street railway, gas and eleotrio lighting systems of Salisbury.

The amount of moneys spent this year for theee improvements, as obtained in an Interview with tho officers of the company. n.Mirh the enormous sum of slightly less than $300,000.00. About a year ago the conrpany started a series of Improvements tn all divisions of tho company, these Including the re-laying of rails, the re-tleing nn.1 ballasting of the entire street railway By el em, both In Salisbury, Spencer and Concord. This tracknge amounts to approximately 9 -2 miles.

During this lime, they laid approximately 15,000 square yards of concrete living; this paying being laid between tho tracks and on either side of the rails, from the northern corporate limits to the southern corporate limits of the city of Salisbury, and also that portion of the trux-k from Inniss street to the city limits. They have also doubled tracked the rail wuy system for live blocks through the main street of Salisbury, and have in this manner given both Salisbury and Spencer on up-to-date street railway trackage system.

It Is with this weapon, augmented by the strength of several states that are expected to be won for suffrage thin year, that they count on obtaining their demand in congress. It ls generally conceded that should New York fail of securing the vote In 1915 the entire strength of the suffragists, throughout the country will be brought to bear on the federal amend- 1 ment. New York is considered the pivot of the situation.

Tho new society applied for and was membership in tho national association, but It soon became evident it wan maklns Itself a national body. Mtwt Paul had obtained the co-ouerallon of congressmen's wives and daughters, a number of thm drmeoratlc, and their names on the roHter of members lent a peculiar sivnlflrance.

Within the two years the company, through their solicitors, has placed about 40 eleHrlc signs in Salisbury and Spencer, and which have added much to the general appearance of the city. They have also placed several ornamental posts in front of the stores with the view of finally establishing a white way along the business thoroughfare.

The Industrial club purchased a sign tn the shamo of the diamond 38 feet lonjr and 19 feet high, enclosing the words, "Salisbury's The Place." in lc-tters two feet high. This sign has been placed on one of the main Nttots near the passenger station. The company furnishes current and maintiiana this sign without cost to i anyone for a period of ten years. The electric lines on nearly every street have ben reconstructed and the general appearance of the entire lighting and power equipment has been put in first-class condition, at an 1 expenditure of approximately J80.000.- 00. The lines have been extended.

through streets which were not previously covered by the company's lines. Within ths last two year the com-nanv has conducted two hoiiM wtrinc campaigns in which houses were wlr-) ed by contractors and the bills paid by the company.

Mrs. Pankhurst'sj favorite maxim Is "Hreak Into the newspapers! Advertise yourself!" And the union was observing her manner of doing It. All this had given rise to the further uncomfortable report that tbe congressional union, after escaping from ttie leading strings of tho national association, meant to clinch a hands-acrosa-the-sea alliance with tho Pankhurst armv.

MrH. Pankhurst has declined any Intr-relatlon with other organisations, of all the ttrtt-! lsh association hers, tho Social and Political union, was the one which refused to enroll under the banner of the International Surffage Allhtnce, This now embraces twenty-seven countries, and has as Its present leader, iMIss Carrie Chapman Catt, of America, now directing the NVw York state campaign.
