SHAKES C-U3 AT LAWMAKERS. Pennsylvania Threatens to Cancel Or der For Millions In Improvements. Philadelphia, March 2(3. As nn ob ject lesson to the nubile, which, through the legislature of Pennsyl vania, is about to make it unlawful for a railroad to charge more than 2 cents per lull for passenger traffic in this slate, and which Is also about to place n tax on anthracite and bituminous Ihe Pennsylvania Railroad com v is about to follow tho example of Erie and New York, New Haven Hartford railroads and order sev rial Improvements now under way to be stopped. These improvements and others In contemplation, which have been and are to be canceled, will approximate $25,000,000. The work In New York Is not likely to be affected. On account of the attempt of vari ous legislatures to make railroads Aioro amenable to law than heretofore the Erie has decided not to continue $10,000,000 worth of Improvements, while the New York, New Haven & Hartford, has hejd up $20,000,000 which was to be expended upon the betterment of the railroad facilities. There Is the closest connection be tween the Pennsylvania and tho New York, New llnvm & Hartford, and this measure w.is decided upon at tho same conference in which the railroad chiefs decided to push up freight rates 10 per cent as another object lesson. The Baltimore & Ohio and the New York Central are to follow suit. In a statement Issued yesterday the Pennsylvania railroad prepares the way for its official announcement as to the holding up of improvements, which statement will come out next week. This statement Is on its face a 'plea against the enactment of the 2-cent law ami tells In detail of the heavy Increase in expenditure which the Pennsylvania railroad will have to make as a result of higher prices for material r.nd the Increase of the wages of its employes. As It is well known that the railroad has given up all hope of blocking the passage of tho 2-cent bill It is not hard to fathom the meaning of the statement. BATS 'WHICH GO OX SPREES. POOR COBBLER'S FIND. Altoona Man's Plan of Burning Ashes Demonstrated to Be Practicable. Altoona, March 2G. John Ellmore, tho inventive shoemaker, has within his grasp millions of dollars and pos sesses the power, if exerted by men Bhrewder than himself, to restrict the ccal output of the United States and so decrease Its value. Without any knowledge of chemis try, and so Illiterate that he is com pelled to seek assistance In writing to drug houses for his Ingredients, Ell more has succeeded in producing a compound which revivifies or re creates the combustible element in common coal ashes, at the same time creating a heat of greater intensity than tint evolved from the highest grade soft coal, when fanned by a forced draught. Two teaspoonsful of EUmore's com pound, costing 23 cents, and dissolved in three gallons of water Is sufficient to treat three-quarters of a ton of ashes mixed with one-quarter of a ton of coal and will bring out more heat and evolve It for a longer period than one ton of pure coal, bituminous or anthracite. The big freight moguls of the Penn sylvania railroad burn a ton an hour running on tho level and six tons an hour running up grade. This could be cut down from 00 to 75 per cent and the steam generating power In creased from 20 to 25 per cent by the shoemaker's discovery. So convinced Is Dr. H. K. Hoy, one of the leading practitioners of Altoona, that EUmore's secret will revolution ize the output and use of coal as a fuel, and that the discovery Is one of the most remarkable of the age, that he has agreed to back the manufact ure of the compound and to enlist cap ital to produce It on a large scale.

Among the curious Inhabitants ot tho Philippines, according to Profoa sor Clinton, ot 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 tures remain hanging from the branches of trees in roosting places, where they congregate by tho hun dreds. They avoid tho thick forests, and sometimes roost in a lone tree on the plains. At twilight they become animated and attack the fruit orchards and coeoanut 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 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- Spiders That flume- Men.

"Riding at tin easy trot over the dry grass," he writes, "I observed a spi der pursuing me, leaping swiftly along and keeping up with my beast. I aimed a blow with my whip and the point of the lash struck the ground close to it. when it instantly leaped upon and ran up the lnsh, and was actually within three or four Inches of my hand when I flung the whip from me."
