San Antonio responded by erecting a roost and
protecting bats by law.
Now that the San Antonio municipal bat-roost
has proved its success, 1t Is DR.. Campbells idea
to have this natural hygenic measure adopted by
governments, municipalities or corporations con.
trolling large bodies of land in malaria regions,
and financially able to erect enough of the
roosts to protect their tenants The reason Is
obvious. 1t is the masses, the poorer classes the
wage earners who are the ones to be benefited as
it is they who principally the carriers or the
diseases. They know nothing about the dangers
of these insects, or the of screens.
The Bureau of Entomology Washington has
conservatively estimated the tribute this nation
pays to malaria at $1OO,O00000 yearly. This prom
osition is in class all by ITSELF because of the
economic feature, which is inseparable from the
hygienic. The bat catches and eats the most ma
levolent of insects the malaria mosquito and then
as If to punish 1t for its magnity, converts the
insolube parts of its little body into the highest
of all fertilizers, guano
1t has been demonstrated that stagle bat will
consume 26O mosquitoes every night, and tho
weight of bats droppings in a single dov
amounts to 3-5 grains The bat roost at San
Antonio will house 100000 of these creoturoo
and in the vicinity of San Antonio they are activs
about nine months in the year. When it ia con.
sdered that guano is worth about $50 n ton tho
commercial value of the amount which NAV ho
collected from one of these roosts in n snpIe yoo
is easily estimated.

surrounding Objects becomes modified by their
character and size, and is reflected back These
reflections received by the so-called "organs
of the sixth sense" The eyes of all lnsect-eatng
bats are dim and weak, and they apparently de-
pend entirely upon the Senstiveness of their faces
and wings in finding their way about Professor
Hartrdge blindfolded number and released them
in a room which crossed with many wires
and partitiOned from another room by Il grid con-
tanning holes just large enough for the bats to
fly through. The flying mammals never touched Il
wire and flew through the holes with ease
In many cases, the organ that gives the bat the
sixth sense is spread large part of its
face. In the vampire bat the organ is on the tip
of the nose; it stands up in the air and Is called
the shield but in most of the small bats that
catch insects on the wing, we find two little
leaves, not unlike the wings of the insect that
it pursues, standing up just in front of the ears
II should be noted that all bats endowed with the
sixth very small, and consequently rnova
their wings very rapidly. while the large bats
with slowly moving wings which live exclusively
on fruit never have the sixth sense and ALWAYS
have large eyes. An example of the latter is the
KalOng, bat with body about fourteen inches
long and n wing spread Of four feet or more If

infnitesimal amount of energy employed by the
bat should be Increased to two or three hundred
horsepower-that Is, waves with an amplitude and
energy at least 100000 times that of the hnt
should be sent out
These vibrations, he explained, although of
great energy, would not be audible to human eors
but would travel at least twenty miles so tbot
they could be received and recorded by n suitorle

breeding vast scale.
His associate in the good work of insect destruc-
zion evolving not long after him, was the ant
eater The function of the latter was to clear the
ground of class of insects deadly as those
which had wings. First birds were not insect
eaters. They were carnivora, and probaoly led
on the fat insect-eating bats, preventing them In
turn from becoming dominant. Thus all
nature checks growth of too dominant animals
and plants and makes for an average of species.
Nor will man permit any particular race or nation
of become too dominant. Hence there

earth, if most of it, ever since primitive

If their life were not conducted in a manner pro-

Gray divided the bats into two classes, those
which from the beginning have lived upon in
sects and those which descended from them, the
frut-eaters. OF the latter, the largest species
extant is the so-called flying fox of Malay
which has a spread Of wings Of five feet or more
OF the former class, rather out of it, is the
South American vampire bat, which lives only on
blood, and which, when confronted with n choice

travel across the country between five degrees
north and five degrees south Of the Equator. Since
travellers note the occurrence of several species
throughout this range, migration is the only pos
sible solution, otherwise they would starve to
death If they remained in one region continuously.
The digestion OF fruit Eats is so rapid that they
must travel far and often to keep supplied with
food
Three species only of bats ore known to be
common all over North America, the silver
haired, the hoardy, and the red bat. Each species
IS migratory, and they easily able to cross
barriers, because of the plain fact that they
have often done so. 1t is not generally realized
that bats possess powers of flight superior to those
sf many birds. This may be inferred from the
fact that a red bat has been known to catch flies
in the air while burdened with young that TO-
gether weighed than she did. Most Cali
fornia hnts catch and devour their prey on the

LAT man may owe his existence
today to the one lone mammal
that can fly, the bat, sounds rather
far-fetched. Yet, according to
scientists. this is quite possible,
because 1t must be remembered
that the bat probably evolved
prior to all other mammals, and
t was his province to reduce in
the air the dominant, swarming

times easily owned the earth after
