The Coconino sun., 1921-05-20
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 20 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 11th of August.
 For years 1t 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 1t constant in the same region for long period hence there Is much variation as to the limits of the dog-star period. Ut 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, it will take place in the midst of win ter.
 Sirius Is called the dog-star because 1t is the brightest luminary in the con stellation "canls major" or Greater Dog.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
