A recent snowfall was so heavy at

REING neither q veterinarian nor a

physician, I probably should hesi-
tate to state my theories in such deep
and serious matters as influenza and
distemper. Yet the experiences and
observations of several years ought to
count for something. And my ex-
periences and observations lead me To
conclude that there is some close re-
lation between the two diseases. Epi-
denies Of the one frequently are ac-
companied by epidemics Of the other.
Seemingly, the same kinds Of
weather or climatic conditions
predispose toward the two mala-
dies.
And it is equally true in both cases
that nursing is of greater value than
medicine.
Canine diStemper has to a large
extent been curbed by incubation and
vaccination. But the conquest is not
yet complete by any means.
In spite Of all methods OF distemper
prevention there still are periodic out
breaks Of this disease In all kennels
and in private homes. We cannot sit
back and say that distemper is a thing
Of the past any more than We can say
that flu is a thing Of the past. This
Winters experience. with its wide
spread outbreaks both In kennels
where inoculation Is systematically
practiced and where it is never prac-
ticed. proves that there still is much
to be done. incubation undoubtedly
saves some.
We must 90 on from there,
and learn how to save those
that inoculation does not affect.
A simple test, like the Schick test
used for discovering those not i'm
mune to diphtheria, needs to be de-
vised to discover what dogs are or are
not immune to distemper. Then, per-
haps, one-shot incubation for those
which are not immune and periodic
examination for those that show nat
ural immunity to catch them when
that immunity wears Off Then, I

Oldest Meteorological Observatorv

Oldest Meteorological Observatory
The Temple of the Winds" may
be called the oldest meteorological
observatory in the world. It is a
small octagonal building of marble
and was erected about 100 B. C. The
eight sides of the temple were built
so as to face in the direction of
the winds, with descriptive figures
representing the character of a par
ticular wind. The north wind was
represented as warmly clad man
clothed in furs, blowing fiercely on
a trumpet; the east wind was ex-
pressed by young man with flow
ing hair; the west wind by the figure
of lightly clad and beautiful youth
with lap full of flowers. On the roof
and in the center was placed
wind-vane. displaying the figure of
a Triton whose scepter always point
ed to the wind octant."

Painting Too Natural

Zeuxis pronounced Zewk-sis), a
Greek painter who lived in the lat
ter part of the Fifth century B. c.,
is said to have painted bunch of
grapes which looked so natural that
birds pecked at them. This is sup
posed to have occurred during a
competition between Zeuxis and a
young rival named Parrhasius,
Zeuxis admitted his rivals super
iority when Parrhasius painted a
curtain by which the older artist
himself was deceived. Pliny gives a
somewhat different version of the
grape story. He says Zeuxis painted
a boy holding grapes towards which
birds few. Zeuxis, commenting up
on the incident, remarked that if
the boy had been as well painted as
the grapes the birds would have
been afraid to approach.
