Mistakes About HydrOphobia.

A New York veterinary surgeon said
to Sun representative.
1.-THE most widespread error about
hydrophobia is that it is most prevalent
in the hot months. A surprising num-
Der of people hold lit as an article of
faith that the dog days are so called
because that season is particularly dan
gerous to dogs. At all events, the belief
is almost universal that July and August
are the months in which to look out for
mad dogs. As matter of fact, statls-
tics show that there is less hydrophobia
in those two months than in any in the
year, and that cases of hydrophobia in
winter, early in the winter and late in
the winter, that is, in November and
December and in February and March,
are rather more than twice as frequent
as they are in July. You have only to
read the papers every year to verify this.
The numerous reports of cases with
which the papers are at this moment
filled verify it. A distinguished veteri-
nary surgeon in England kept record
of hydrophobia cases for a series of
years. and the result was that he discov-
cred that, in England at least, February
was the most dangerous month. A record
kept in France during a period of ten
years showed an average of twenty
cases in January, 21 in March, and % in
April, while in July there were only IL
From this series of observations the in
ference was drawn that the disease was
much more prevalent in the rainy than
in the dry months. This hot weather
error, like the error about aversion to
water being symptom of the disease, is
also source of danger. People lock
up, muzzle, and drown dogs during the
months when it is safest to let them run
at large, and let them run at large just
when they are most liable to the disease
and most dangerous.
"But hydrophobia is after all so rare a
disease that there is no necessity of half
the fuss that is made over it. During
the five years from 1866 to 1871 there
were in New York city only twenty-five
cases, or an average of three and two
thirds per annum among the million and
quarter of people here. This is a
greater number of cases than was shown
by long record kept in Paris, where
during series of forty years only nine
ty-four cases occurred, or an average of
two and one-third per year"

Dor Towns.

The prairie dog is u burrowing animal,
and the spot on which it congregates is
literally honeycombed with its tunnels
There is, however, kind of order OBJ
served in the 'dog towns" " as these war
rens arc popularly called, for the animals
always have certain roads or streets in
which no burrow is made. The affairs
of the community seem to be regulated
by single leader, called the big dog,
who sits before the entrance of his bur
row and issues his orders from thence to
the community. In front of every bur-
row small heap Of dirt is raised, which
is made from the excavated soil, and
which is generally employed as a seat
for the occupant of the burrow. AS long
as no danger is apprehended, the little
animals are all in lively motion, sitting
upon their mounds or hurrying from one
tunnel to another, as eagerly as if they
were transacting the most important
business. Suddenly sharp yelp is
heard, and the peaceful scene is in mo-
ment transformed into whirl of indis-
tinguishable confusion. Quick barks
resound on every side, the air is filled
with a ust-cloud, in the midst of which
is distinctly seen an intefmingled mass of
flourishing legs and whisking tails, ana
in a moment the populous town" is
deserted. Not dog is visible, and the
whole spot is apparently untenanted.
But in few minutes pair of dark eyes
are seen cleaning at the entrance of some
burrow, a set of glistening teeth next
shine through the dusEy recesses, and in
a few minutes first one and then another
prairie dog issues from his retreat, until
TIE whole community is again in lively
action.

Patroling Russian Railroads.

The track from Charkov to Nikolajev,
in Russia is patroled before each train
by watchman of each section, who car
ries forward a number found by him at
the beginning of his section and left on
a hook provided for at the end, even
numbers being carried in one direction
and odd numbers in the other. The
numbers, which are painted on metal
plates. are hung in view of the trains, so
that officials passing can readily see
them, and by means of small table of
the positions of the number on any day
or hour can see whether the watchmen
are doing their work. A hook without
a number indicates the negligence of a
watchman, who can be readily identified,
since every watchman is required to give
notice when he does not find a number
at the beginning of his section, and must
do so to avoid having the carelessness
ascribed 10 him.
