MYR|ADS OF BATS
. GUARD TREASURES
Millions CT Them Occupy Shaft and
Levels ard Make Exploration
Impossible.

VEGA, Mexico, April 2l.--The fam,
GUS old Sivirijoa mines, situated four
miles west OF here, are infested by
millions of bats of enormous size.
When American engineers came into
this section to lay out the route for
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
railroad they were greatly mystified by
the black column which poured out of
the mountain each evening and rose
high into the air. At first they
thought 1t was smoke from volcano
until the natives explained that what
seemed to be column OF smoke was
made UP OF myriads of bats.
The stream of bats begins to emerge
from the ancient shaft OF the mines
just at sundown each evening, and for
three hours the solid column pours
through the opening, filing the space,
six feet square. The living column as
cends to height of aboue five hun
dred feet unbroken, and II is then
gradually dissipated by clouds OF bats
breaking away from the main mass.
Frequently these clouds of bats are so
dark and dense that they can be seen
for distances of from fifteen to twenty
miles.
Meals for Birds Of Prey.
Notwithstanding the fact that
hawks, eagles and other birds of prey
for miles around take advantage of
the vast assembly Of bats to gain an
easy livelihood, there has been no

Danger In Disturbing Them.
These bats occupy great cavern
that was excavated as a part OF the
mine workings more than one hun
dred years ago. Several attempts
have been made to explore that part
of the mines that Is occupied by the
bats, but they are so numerous that
1t was found an exploit fraught with
great dangers. The members OF one
exploring party were nearly suffocated
by the bats few years ago. They
were examining the ancient workings
with the view OF determining what
ore, II any, existed in the different
levels. Suddenly the bats were dis
turbed from their day-sleep by the
invasion Of the men and they swoop-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by l~cel applications, as they cannot
reach The diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

with good rich soil, which can be got
from vacant lots or purchased from
the nearby florists.
A stout box or iron tree guard or a
wire netting protector should be placed
around the tree trunk SO as to protect
It from hungry horses. careless team
sters and the lawn mower. 1t also
acts as support.
Manure and fertilizer may be ap-
piled to your trees and shrubs at this
time of the year. This manure should
be spread over the ground around the
tree and left lying until spring. when
it may be raked together ard burned
or spaded into the ground.
Whenever possible all the leaves
dropping from the shrubs should be
left lying on the ground. They furnish
a winter mulch and form leaf mold
which is as good as any fertilizer. All
dead wood and nnsightly branches can
be removed at this time Of the year
without affecting the tree. Timely
tree trimming is one Of the great es-
sentials in proper tree development.
The simplest rule 10 follow in trim
ming ornamental trees is this: Cut out
all the dead wood. withered Branches,
stubs or main trunks rs soon as they
are seen. All living branches which
are Objectionable should be cut out
early in the spring.
All cuts should he made with 4 sharp
saw, well set. The cut should he made
close and parallel with the parent
branch from which it grew, and the
cut should he left smooth or with a
slightly concave surface. The wound
should then be covered with heavy
coating Of coal tar 10 aid in keeping
out the moisture and rot spores.
Where the tree has been neglected
and cavities have formed in the trunk
Of the tree something should be done
to stop the increase Of the opening, for
the rotting will continue until the
opening has become so long as to en-
circle the greater portion Of the tree,
and very often the entire center has
been destroyed.
In cases where the life Of a tree can
be prolonged by treating it the cavity
should be carefully scraped and
cleaned Of all the dead and decayed
wood: then give it thorough wash
ing or spraying with a solution Of coz
per sulphate.
