Ex-senator Edmonds is equally
opposed to the trade commission bill
which he says would merely upset
things. However, through long ex-
perience and seeing many changes,
Senator Edmunds has become phil
osophical. He says, Il am not de-
pressed by what is going on. It will
all come out right. Troubles are not
political, but social. Human history
and experience teach that things go
around in circles. We are now IN a
part of the circle which I shall
not endeavor to classify. We
are troubled with an epidemic OF
emotion among people who don't
stop to reflect. Radical doctrines are
merely a sign of the times. Some
day there will be a further swing
of the circle to sane and stable con-
ditions. burlington News.

Bulgarian Horrors

the noble fame that he made for
himself that day can never die.
In the spring of 1876 there was
a slight rebellion among the Bul-
garian peasants Of Batak. After
a desultory struggle the villagers
surrendered, Achmet giving his
word of honor that not a hair of
their heads should be touched"

Mr. Gladstone. whose famous
pamphlet on the Bulgarian Hor-

clifton Of the can Of Peter the
Hermit.
The Turkish Government
showed its appreciation Of the
massacres by decorating the
Butcher of Batak.' But the OF
tOman High Commissioner sent
to Investigate the outrages
formed a truer estimate Of what
had been done by his brutal coun-
trymnn. Addressing one of the
ringleaders in the massacres, he
asked him how much Russia had
paid him for the deed which. he
declared would be the "beginning
Of the end of the Ottoman En-
pire in Europe"

This was in the spring and sum-
mer Of 1911. In 1912 the army
of bats had increased, according
to the estimate of DR.. Campbell.
to the enormous number of 500,-

stroys 500 mosquitoes per day.
the total diurnal slaughter
amounts to not less than ESQ.,
100000!
If we did not know the In
credible rapidly with which mos
quitoes, flies and such creatures
multiply. we might be tempted to
think that the destruction OF ESQ.,
100000 individuals every "a hours
would in a few days wipe out OF
existence the entire race of the
blood suckers,
But it would appear that thers
are vet enough mosquitoes in tho
marshes Of MitchelPs Lake TO
keep Dr. Campbell's army Of
winged dragons in active cam
paign from March to November
each year.
The destruction takes placs
mainly in the evening when the
astonishing spectacle OF the sortie
Of the bat army is to be seen.
The horde comes pouring out for
hours, like dark stream in the
shadoWy air, until the entire half
million are in motion, swooplng,
turning and darling about in a
bewildering maze Of swiftly cut
circles.
The spectator may well Imag-
inc that, though many mosquitoes
may escape the slaughter, they
must be too terrified to venture on
distant forays after such an ex-
perience.
DR.. Campbell appears to be
very practical man, for he has
made his gigantic bat house yield
so per cent profit per annum on
the original cost through the sale
Of the guano deposited within by
the bats.

a BAT will devour 500 mos
n quitoes per day, If he can
get them. There is no
food that bat likes so well. DR.
Charles Campbell, of San Antonio
makes these assertions on the ba-
sis Of a careful scientific study of
the food eaten by a colony OF bats
which he placed under observa-
ton.
Starting with this fact, Dr.
Campbell had the happy idea that
bats might be employed in Il war
Of determination against mosGui-
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 MitChelIs 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 500 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
shrewd guess as to the kind of
home that would suit them, and
then constructed a model bat
house on the shore Of MitchelPs
Lake. II is a truncated pyramid
in external form, twenty feet in
height, and standing on four stout
legs ten feet high. It is open
beneath, and has, at one side, a
kind Of Venetian shutter which
lets 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 keen rats ont 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 a
few bats to try it as a place Of
residence, or, rather, as a field
barracks and training ground
for the coming war. They liked
it, evidently, for in a short time
their number had been recruited
