Why DOGS NOSE is COLD
Being Crowded Out of the Ark Is a
Pretty Story, but Not Sciences
Explanation.

When your faithful old dog pokes
his nose into your hand, even your al
lection cannot prevent a little shiver,
because the nose is SO cold Why IS
1t? When the body of dog is SO
warm, why should this one spot be diff
ferent from all the rest of him?
The old fable tells us that when
Noah tried to get all the animals into
the ark some of them were trouble
some, and he had to get dog to help
him drive them in. Because of this
the dog was the last to enter the ark
There was no room left, so he had to
stand in the doorway with his nose
outside in the wet, and it has never
been warm since.
Science gives quite another explana-
ton of the matter. The GOODNESS OF
dogs nose is, it says, due to the fact
that it must be kept moist all the
time in order to sharpen his sense or
smell And, of course, as the mols-
ture is evaporating all the time, 1t
keeps his nose cold.
A dog depends a great deal on his
powers of smell, especially in the wild
state, and it is because of his keen
ness of scent that he is valuable 10
man for hunting purposes In add1-
ton to the olfactory or smelling
nerves inside dogs nostrils, the
whole black membrane around the
nose is very sensitive, but this sensl-
tfveness can only be retained by mois-
ture Thus it is that when a dog
nose Is dry and warm he is i'll and
needs doctoring.
