Charles Campbell Of San Antonio.
makes these assertions on the ba-
sis of a careful scientific study az
the food eaten by a colony Of bats
which he placed under obserya-
tion.
Starting with this fact, Dr.
Campbell had the happy idea that.
bats might be employed in a war
Of determination against mosqut-
toes. He determined to try IT,
There was a field Of battle all
ready for the contest; it consisted
of the vast marshes surrounding
some 900 acres Of stagnant water
called MitcheIl's Lake, near san
Antonio. The air over these
marshes hummed with the trum
pets of countless hosts of mos
.quitoes.
A single bat DR.. Campbell had
discovered, could eat 800 mosqui-
toes in "a hours. But that would
be like drawing a bucket OF water
from the Atlantic Ocean in an ef-
fort to dry up the sea. What was
needed was a veritable grand
army of bats This army once
collected, would have to be in
duced to camp on the shore or the
lake, and shelter would have to be
provided for IT,
DR.. Campbell had studied bats
in the caverns which they are ac-
customed to inhabit, and he made
a shrewd guess as to the kind Of
home that would suit them. and
then constructed model bat
house on the shore Of Mitchelrs
Lake. 1t is a truncated pyramid
in external form, twenty feet in
helSht, ana standing on four stout
legs ten feet high. 1t is open
beneath, and has, at one side. a
kind of Venetian shutter, which
let's in just enough light to please
the night-loving eyes of bats. The
four legs are protected by pro-
jecting guards, like those which
farmers use to keep rats out of
corn bins. These are to protect
the bats against the invasion Of
their enemies, which include rats.
possums, skunks, wildcats and a
species of snake.
Having constructed his bat
house, DIR. Campbell induced
few bats to try it as place of
residence, or, rather, as field
barracks and training ground
for the coming war. They liked
it, evidently, for in a short time
their number had been recruited
