San Antonio Sets
A SW0rm of Bots
After Mosquitoes
nv Associated Press.l

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 22.-An
army of notwithstanding bats, several
thousand strong, will be turned loose
in San Antonio next month. If, as has
been predicted for it, the army succeeds
in Gripping seriously the activities of
the germ-laden mosquito population,
many other cities may follow San An
tonio's example and establish their
municipal bat roosts.''
DR.. c. A. r. Campbell, who has made
special study og bats, is responsible
for San Antonios bat roOSt. The insti-
tuition came into existence last spring.
1t was not a success in its first year
owing to the fact that it was established
late in the spring, and it's population
was not numerous enough This spring
there is a large army of bats on hand
and 1t is expected to get an early start.
DR.. Campbell says that one bat In
the course of a single day will eat one
thousand mosquitoes. He expects hordes
of mosquitoes to perish daily, and that
by the end of the summer the pestiferous
insects will be almost, if not entirely,
missing from this locality.
The flight of the bats will begin about
February Is and from then until April
| 80 they will fly about all night long,
trailing and devouring mosquitoes. DR..
Campbell says that the more malaria,
| typhoid and other germs a mosquito
carries, the better the bat relishes it,
After April 80 the bats grow less hun
CRY and more sleepy BY the end of
! July their flight totals only about two
hours. Soon thereafter the season for
baby bats arrives.
A neighboring city having written to
DR.. Campbell asking him to get rid
of mosquitoes, he replied: Breed bats"
! Then he got another letter inquiring
But when you've got rid of the mosqui-
toes how do you get rid Of the bats?'

Clanton November 5.--(Special. 1.-The

successful exhibition and much credit is
due to those making entries and the Of

praise for their adherence to the strict

so excellent, which made the choice OF
the judges irksome.
Mrs. Ida Jones, the excellent lady in

Birmingham, November 4, 1916.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-11-06

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Considering the recent mine explo-
sions which have followed SO closely
upon the earthquake during the last
month, the rumblings, grumblings,
heavings and sighings Of which sent
the citizens out into the streets in
terror and CONSERVATION, reminding
one of the manner in which ants will
swarm out of an old stump in which
they have taken up their quarters,
when some passerby disturbs their
ancient reign by striking the stump
with club or an AK, it may not be
out Of tune and time to call attention
to condolences between mine explo-
sions and earthquakes which have
been noted heretofore.
Unfortunately, his letter to the
writer bears no full date, but the
writer has before him letter bearing
date April 80 of the year IN wnicn
it was written from the late Senator
Joseph F. Johnston, now of such
happy memory, in which, acknowl-
edging receipts of a letter from the
condolences, the senator advised the
writer that he had referred the
writer's letter to the geological sur
vey of the United States, with the
request that that department send to
the writer all records and literature
it had on the subject; but, as the
writer received none, he took it that
there were no such records, and no
literature on the subject, ana the
writer passed the matter by as an un-
developed study in the school Of OBJ
servation.
These recent mine explosions, how
ever would seem to warrant further
inquiry Within "a hours after the
occurred in West Virginia, and since
that time two most violent explosions
have occurred in the state of Ala
bama. On previous occasions the ex-
plosion at Palos, in this county, fol-
lowed upon the heels of an earth
quake; the explosion at Mulga was
likewise preceded by an earthquake;
the terrible explosion in the Cherry
mines was so announced and so fol-
lowing, our recent visitation having
ushered in three explosions in rather
quick succession.
Now as the learned will pay no at
tention to the matter, the writer begs
that he may be permitted to make
bold enough to suggest that the accu-
mutation of gases in these mines is
the perfectly natural result OF the
opening up of crevices in the crust
