BELIEF HAS NO FOUNDATION
Conjunction of the Rising of the Dog
Star and the Sun Doesn't Bring
Extreme Heat.

DOG days" was the name given by
astronomers to the 20 days before and
% days after the rising of the dog
star, or Sirius, with the sun. This
period is reckoned at present from the
Sd of July to the 18th Of August.
For years IL was the accepted opin-
ion that this conjunction of the rising
of the dog-star and the sun was one
OF the causes for the extreme heat Of
the summer. This conjunction, how
ever, does not occur at the same time
In all ATTITUDES, nor is it constant in
the same region for a long period (;
hence there is much variation as to
the limits of the dog-star period.
IL is a mere coincidence that the
rising Of Sirius and the sun occurs
during the hottest season OF the year
Just now. In time, astronomers say,
Il viii take place In the midst Of win
ter.
Sirius Is called the dog-star because
Il Ia the brightest luminary in the con-
stellation "canis major" or Greater

Early French Monarch Must Have

In the reign of Philip the Fair of

movement was largely Influenced by
the extravaganza Of the higherups as
well as the mounting costs Of living,
which seemed to embarrass the poor

In order to curb this extravagance
a statute was passed during Philips
reign which prohibited common cits,

or gold. This privilege -as bestowed

SCIENTISTS HOLD TWO VIEWS
Are Not in Accord in Their ExpIana
ton of Origin of the Planetary
System.

Scientists explain the origin Of our
planetary system in two ways. One
of these is the familiar nebular ny
pOthesis of Lapace. The other is the
planetesmal theory of Professor MouI-
ton, which Is probably the most cor.
rect one. According to this theory
our planetary system was originally
a vast spiral nebulae. The planets
were formed by accretions of matter
In the spirals of the nebulae. Our
earth and its satellite, the moon, were
formed In this way. The moon being
a smaller accretion of matter, was
naturally attracted by the earth, which
was possessed of enough gravitation
to hold the moon. The moon there.
fore is not child Of the earth, but
speaking in everyday parlance, we
might call 1t an adopted child. This
theory explains great. deal that the
nebular hypothesis does not. There
are vast numbers of such spiral neb-
ulae in the heavens, indicating that
this is natures accepted way OF ere
ating new worlds, and 1t is for these
reasons that accept this view Of the
formation Of the earth and the moon

USED SNAKES TO R0UT FOE
Mean Trick on King Eumenes
Of Persamus.

When Hannibal was about to be at
tackled by King Eumenes Of Pergamus
at sea, that crafty person decided that
in a fair fight the king would win.
The enemy had more ships and more
men, and Hannibal and all his follow
erS would be at the bottom Of the sea
if any attempt were made by him TO
dividual units. Hannibal therefore
gave out word that all his ships were
to join in an attack on the ship car
rying the king, on the theory that with
out a leader the enemy would soon
be demoralized. To find out what
ship the king was on he sent a mes
senger just before the battle with a
tablet to the enemy's fleet. The mes
senger was directed to the ship bear
ing Eumenes, and all of Hannibars
feet had merely to watch the little
boat to identify the kings vessel.
When the battle began Hannibars
boat rushed to the side Of Eumenes'
ship, and the formers sailors began
to hurl great earthenware pots into
the kings boat. The defenders Of the
ship at first laughed at this queer
method Of warfare, but their laughter
promptly changed to bowls Of terror
when 1t was discovered that the pots
were filed with POISONOUS snakes of
the most deadly variety. The ship
turned and fed for shore, its decks
alive with the kissing, gliding snakes.
The other ships also treated to snake
bombs followed suit, and Hannibal
was the victor.

the snow in the capital the next day
was so deep that it seemed impossi-
