The cruel, sharp teeth of the bat soon substituted for imprisonment, rapid death.
Dear old Gilbert White of Selborne, has in his eleventh letter some observations which I cannot refrain from quoting. " I was much entertained, " he writes, " last summer with a tame bat, which would take flies out of a person's hand. If you gave it anything to eat, it brought its wings round before the mouth, hovering and hiding its head in the manner of birds of prey when they feed. The adroitness it showed in s...hearing off the wings of flies, which were always rejected, was worthy of observation, and pleased me much. Insects seemed to be most accept- able, though it did not refuse raw flesh when offered ; so that the notion that bats go down chimneys and gnaw men's bacon, seems no improbable story. While I amused myself with this wonderful quadruped, I saw it several times confute the vulgar opinion, that bats when down upon a flat surface cannot get on the wing again, by rising with great ease from the floor.
