The Effect Of Temperatures.
NEW YORK, July 3, 1874.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
1t is my opinion that dog madness Is caused by
extremes OF heat and cold, and consequently, that
the latitude OF new York city is peculiarly favor
able TOR the development OF IL: In support OF this
hypothesis will state that in the Island Of ia
malca where the equable yearly temperature OF "a
degrees is modined by cool winds that make the
climate delightful compared with our sum-
mer, canine madness Is almost unknown.
temperature OF the island was unusually
and greatly increased, and the immediate
result was the development OF madness in the
inferior animals, causing the death OF an esteemed
citizen OF Kingston from hydrophobia- That the
same result Is produced from extreme cold I
think is sufficiently proved by the uncontroverted
assertion OF those who would spare the lives OF
their favortes. that Is developed as often In Janu
airy and February as In July or August. In concu-
SION | must express my astonishment that So
called pbiianthropists could he found who would
je0pardze the lives Of worthy citizens, numerous
children and the happiness OF families In order to
spare their canine friends
