BAT AT HOME EVERYWHERE
Species Of the Race Vary as Widely
as Their habits-Not Especially
Deadly to Mosquitoes.

As group bats are of worldwide
distribution except In the inhosplta-
BILE polar regions. They are real NAM
mails and present an extraordinary
variation In size, from tiny little cren-
lures, almost as small and fragile us
butterflies, to the huge fruit bats, with
spread OF wings like that of Wild
goose.
The heads of bats are strangely
sculptured, some being smoothly CON
toured and shaped like those of little
foxes; others appear like miniature
bulldogs; and still others have curious
cartilaglnous noSe-leayeS upright on
the muzzle. Some have the entire face
nodded into hldeOus mask repulsive
to look upon.
Their habits are equally varied TO
meet special conditions. Some are
eaters of fruit alone; others feed sole
ly upon insects, while others bite other
mammals, including man, for the pur-
pose of drinking the oozing blood upon
which they subsist. All are nocturnal
but some appear late in the afternoon,
before the sun sets. Most species,
however, wait until the shades OF
night have covered the earth,
Throughout the world the majority
OF the species Of bats feed upon In
sects, but there are many fruit eat
ers. The teemlng insects and plant
life of the tropics afford a never-fail-
Ing food supply, and the center Of
abundance of these animals is found
there. In some localities between 20
aud 30 kinds of bats exist, with such
vast numbers of individuals that the
bat population fur Outnumbors all 9th
er kinds of mammals combined.
And alas it is not true that bats
prefer a diet of mosquitoes!
