This is the first Of two articles by
DR.. Fishbein on rabies or hydrophohia
The word rabies is Latin for
madness. Hydrophobia means fear
of water, and thus defines what
seemed to be the most significant
symptom. Of this disease, one of
the oldest of the diseases definite
" classified by man.
AS early as 1904, long before the
nature of the disease was discov-
cred by Pasteur, it was known
that the saliva Of a person or of a
dog that had the disease would
transmit it.
Until Pasteur made the great
discovery which freed mankind
from fear of hydrophobia is was
customary to burn the flesh Of a
person who had been bitten by
any mad animal, with a red-hot
iron, as a means Of treatment.
A MONG strange superstitions
N that survive is the belief that
the danger from mad dogs is
greater in dog days than at any
other time.
There is no evidence to support
this view, because the bites of

mad dogs occur at any time. They
are likely to be more frequent
from April to September than
from October to March, because
dogs run loose more often in the
spring and summer than in win
ter.
When a mad dog bites another
animal or a human being, the
disease is transmitted by the sa-
Iva which contains that poisonous
virus or germ. The time when the
disease attacks is from fourteen
days on.
The shorter the distance from
the bite to the brain, other fac
tors being equal, the shorter the
period before the disease sets in.
There are wide variations in
the period of incubation; in fact,
from twelve days to twelve
months, but in the vast majority

The Missing Island

TINE path of the 1887 eclipse,
L. as calculated by astronomers,
crosses only one bit of land on
the map, excepting, Of course, its
ending on the South American
coast, which occurs at sunset
when observations can not be
made satisfactorily.
That one bit of land is Sarah
Anne island north Of the equator.
Lately, however, this little island,
has been reported missing.
Either it never existed where
the mapmakers put it, or else it
has disappeared beneath the
waves, as small islands have been
known to do.

thing wrong with this wise old
business world.
For instance, take men and
women who have college degrees.
and other people who are well
educated in different lines Of
work, and still they are out Of en-
ployment.
1 have peen told, time and time
again, by people who have said,
You have a good education, why
didn't you hold some of the good
positions you have had?"
Another instance: I walked
into an employment agency last
month in a distant city, where
they advertised for workmen. I
was asked when my turn came
what education I had. "a high
school education, two years in q
mechanical school of automobile,
tractor, and aviation, and about
fifteen years of experience in this
line Of wo-G." And yet he said,
Il can not use you"
But the next two gentlemen
were asked these same questions,
and they told him that all the
education they had was up to the
sixth grade in school, and they
were the two who were employed,
out of 100 educated men.
The question in my mind is,
Does this business world of ours

Gated people?"

Pressed for Time

CALCULATIONS show that the
~ maximum possible duration of
totality in any eclipse is 7 min
uteS and 81 seconds. It will be
seen, therefore, that the 1887
eclipse comes very close to the
maximum.
Most eclipses are far shorter.
The 1882 eclipse, for example, had
period of totality of only 100
seconds.
Lack of time is the biggest
handicap during an eclipse of the
sun. The astronomer must make
all his most important observa-
lions and photographs during the
period of totality.
1t will be seen, therefore, that
the 1897 eclipse provides an I'M
usually fine opportunity for the
astronomer, if only he can ind a
place on the Pacific to put his
telescope.

nothing else, the sort of answers
he seemed to require.
Psychologists get you coming or

on the decline of manners and

England. But when they testi-
fed as to the 100 per cent ex-

veloped' theory of mentality
among the immature. To me it
is all very depressing.
