mosquito fighters. The neighborhood OF

in that vicinty-and for long time past
the inhabitants of the municipality and
its suburbs have eagerly sought TO ma
solution of the problem. Much oeneht
has been obtained by keeping nlinnows
in cisterns and ponds-these small fishes
being greedy devourers of mosquito larvae
but such measures have not altogether
met requirements.
Bats, as is we'll known, are insect eaters,
and are particularly fond of mosquitoes.
In the twilight, when they rove abroad
they devour immense numbers OF the
pestiferous insects--their manner being 70

In view of which fact, 1t occurred TO DR..
Campbell that it might be good idea

Lust for Gold Brought Span

Men Find Bitterness and Hardship

Discovery Balboa Was

From the Kansas city mines.

From the Kansas City Times.
1t was lust for gold that brought the
Spaniards to America in the fifteenth
century. It was the same lust that led
them TO make many daring trips of ex-
ploration into the interior. Tales went
back to Andalusia and Aragon of new
country where gold was so plentiful 1t
might be picked up on the surface of
the ground, and thousands of young men,
filled with the fever for sudden riches,
sold what little property they had and
took passage for the new world, certain
they at least would reach the Ell Dorado
of which other men had dreamed.
Some of these young men did indeed
grow rich. but far larger number found
only hardship, bitterness and dlsappoint-
ment in the land of promise. They
stayed on. many of them, because they
had not the wherewithal to return and
became members of the boisterous, blood
thirsty little colonies which dotted the
West Indies. BY and by these colonies
became new starting places for voyages
of adventure and gold seeking, the more
adventurous spirits pushing west and
farther west, always sure that just be-
yond the setting sun they would find
the promised land of wealth.
Such an expedition set out from the
Island of Haiti one day In the year 1873.
When the vessel was well out to the sea,
and the wooded shores of the island had
grown dim in the distance. the adven-
turers were amazed to hear shouting
14l ell,
a noise of knocking. The sound was
coming from one of a number OF great
casks, supposed to contain dried beef,
and when the noisy caslS was discovered
and the end knocked off, well-built
Young man, clad in the velvet garments
rentlefok wore at that time. sprang out
Several of the adventurers recognized
him as vasco Nunez de Balboa, young
man known to many of the colonists of
Haiti.
Balboa explained that he had chosen
this way of coming aboard because his
creditors were watching him so closely
that he knew they would never have
permitted him to leave the island openly
but would have caused him to be seized
and cast into the debtors prison. Most
OF the men aboard tae vessel laughed
heartily at this andsagreed that 1t was a
novel and most excellent way of fooling
clamoring tradesmen. But the captain
of the vessel, a black-browed. sullen brute
of man. cursed Balboa and said the
young man should not sail on his vessel,
and that he would stop at certain
desert island of which ns knew and there
put Balboa ashore and leave him to shift
for himself When the young boods who
made up the party head of this plan they
were angry and forced the suien skipper
to abandon it.
The destination of this party of adj
venture was Darien. near the site of the
Panama canal Nd man knew what lay
across the Isthmus, and indeed most
spaniards believed At that time that thu
