tie people are much elated over the
action of City Council in having all
unmuzzled dogs taken up and i'm
pounded by William Warren. So far
Warren has caught sixty dogs and as

DAYS. The days for this year are
about over and on account of the
prompt manner I'm which the dogs
were taken up no scares have been
here during the past weeks. The dog
has nothing to do with the dog days
because the latter got their name
simply from the fact that during the
six weeks Of dog days the sun appears
IN the constellation of CAMS Major, m
which the largest star Sirius. or the
dog star" which is generally hid by
the sun, comes out from behind the
sun and has what rs called It heliacal
rising" or separation from the sun s
rays, so that II can be seen.
Although this star is supposed to be
the largest in the heavens and the
nearest to the earth, yet It is so far
away from our solar system that its
heating effect is very small on our
planet and there is no real occasion
for ascribing the heat OF dog days 70
the star itself The real reason that
the so-called dog days are hot Is that
the heat of our own sun Is more felt
at this season of the year than any
other, for a reason similar to that OF
the extreme coldness of the ground
hog season-about February 2.
The earth receives approximately It's
greatest heat and light in the yeal
about the goth of June and its least
about tho goth of December But the
earth has a kind of heat saving bank
system by which some OF ths heat re-
ceived from the sun, and not radiatec
the same day. Is saved up, as we may
say. until Il is wanted for ripening the
crops and other purposes. So the
warmest days range from about June
20 to August 90 Then they begin tc
grow colder again by losing daily
more heat than they receive until
near grounding day, when they be-
gin to store up again.
