POPULAR PALACES CONCERNING
THE DIsEAsE

IN the category Of infectious diseases
rabies stands At the head Of those about
which the ideas of the general public
ARE most ~ variance with the actual
facts. It ~ commonly believed that
n person bitten by u dog IN perfect
health is liable to become affected with
~hydrophobia should the dog develop
rabies NJ aud subsequent period. how
ever long aftcrwardC Consequently he.
levers IN this theory are particularly
anxious 10 have the dog killed NJ once
before he has an opportunity to 90

and ~ variance with our knowledge
Ut all infectious Diseases, and the Kill
my Of the dog should always bc dis
c%Ouraged.
Until recently it was considered that
the dog saliva became N%lrulent only
three days before the appearance Of
rabies. According To some recent cx
periments by Nicolas IL has been found
that the saliva may become yirulent
six or even eight days before the symp.
toms develop. Therefore in ease the
animal remains healthy for ten DAYS
after IL has bitten Il person or animal,
10 danger need be npprchcndcd from
that bite even though the dog develop
rabies within the next few weeks.

sKEPTIcIsM AS TO EXISTENCE OF
RABIES.

In spite Of all the work that has
been done on rabies there are still
many persons, Including some medical
men,, who are skcptical regarding or
absolutely disbelievc the cxistnncc of
this disease. Some physicians say that
they have been prncticing fifteen,
twenty, or thirty years and have never
seen Il ease; hut this proves nothing.
During the past fifteen years hut three
eases Of the disease have occurred in
human beings in Washington, D.. c..
II can he readily seen, therefore, that
only a small percentage of the medical
practitioners would see them.
Others have advanced the statement
that in Constantinoplc, whore there are
more dogs than in any other place Of
equal area in the world, rabies is un.
known. This statement has been dis
proved by RcmlinR,r, director Of the
Imperial meteorological Institute in
that city, who reports many eases Of
the disease in Constantinoplc and ad

PERIOD OF INCUBATION.


The period of incubation Of rabies
varies within wide limits, being more
or less different in the various species
Of animals. II also differs in the same
species, depending on several important
factors, as the location Of the bite, the
character Of the bite, and the amount
Of the virus injected. Bites about the
head, face, and hands in human he.
ings are the most serious because these
parts are the nose exposed. The cloth.
ing IN other parts Of the body tends
10 wipe the saliva from the teeth, and
thus prevents II fror, inoculating the
wound, Bites about the face aud head
are also more dangerous than on other
parts because they are so thickly sup.
piled with nerves and the distance the
virus has to travel TO reach the cen.
trial nervous system is short. Through
experimentation II has been pretty def.
nitely proved that the virus travels
along the course Of the nerves rather
than by means Of the blood current.
Deep, penetrating, or decorating bites
are obviously Of greater import than
superficial scratches, as more virus en-.
tiers the former wounds and they are
difficult or impossible to eauterize com.

POET DELIBERATELY
DESTROYS LIFEWORK

San Francisco.-It has just been
learned that a number of valuable
manuscript poems written by Charles
Warren Stoddard just previous to his
death, which have been sought in this
city and in his old Boston library,
have been destroyed.
The information is furnished by
the dead poets housekeeper. She
has confessed that a few hours before
his death he ordered her to build a
fire in his room. One by one he went
over the manuscripts that lay on
coverlet and when he had finished
reading a wave of his hand consigned
them to the flames. In this manner
he saw his life work virtually turn to
ashes, for, in addition to the poems
that never saw the light Of publicity
be destroyed every verse of his that
had been published.
These facts were brought to the
surface through the efforts of Ina
Coolbrith, the poet, and A. NJ. ROBBERS
son, publisher, to get possession Of the
dead singers poems for the purpose
Of gathering them all in one volume
and publishing them.
One poem known to exist was eag-
erly sought. This was known under
.wo titles, in the Shadow" and |
Where Life Frowns." Perhaps there
we're two poems. If so, both dealt
With the dropping of the final cur
ain in the drama of life, a subject |
seldom even hinted at by Stoddard |
,ther than with the most cheerful op-
imism.
The poem, or poems, took the op-
'osite view. Readers of where Life
Trowns," declare that it contained the
cry essence of pessimism. This, it is
hought may have led TO the burning

five men, was the principal feature
of the procession of 1000 parishioners

The procession was preceded by
services in the church, conducted by

one representing a church, made of
pink and white carnations.
