The old Greeks whose pet Paris 'poddles weren't as good natured as ours, paid more at- tention to the stars than they did to spaniels. ' So they let astronomy 'go to the dogs when they called the brightest star in the sky the dog star. Its oth- es name is Sirius. The Greeks prefer- red to call it ‘the dog-star because DOG DAYS! And those 'tWo words stand for one of the biggest hoaxes ever sprung on the world. I was much interested to know that the, pure race of St. Bernard dogs cannot ,ive away iro@ the ‘ mountain they. have been associated iwith for so many centuries. In the plains they degenerate in size and strength and their wonderful sagacity grows duller. Under, no circumstances will the h08pice sell or part with their dogs, although they have had many tempting oflers from foreign travellers, who will pay a high price f Most noted among these four- legged saviors is Oliver, with a re- cord of fifty-six rescues. He is to be sent to Matting, where the monas- tery has a kind of sanatorium in which the dogs try to regain the health and strength they have lost in the service of strangers. , “Dog Days not now so dependent on the dogs for news of travellers in distress, be- cause of the telephone I have already mentioned. ' The scent of these dogs is so wonderfully keen they can track a man’s footsteps in the snow two or three days after he has passed. It is a grand sight to see the monks and their attendants go forth in their big fur coats, high rubber. boots. hel- meta. Behind them come attendants with long ashgpoles, ice axes, alpen- stocks, spades, wine and provisions. - When the first snow comes in Sep- temper‘ the paths are marked with posts twenty feet high. ' But these soon disappear, and other posts are fixed on top of them, and so on. Soon the winter paths lead indiflerâ€" . ently over enormous rocks and burâ€"1 ied alpine huts. The greatest danger comes from the furious gales shifting the snow and making return impos- sible. The rescue; parties are always led by the dogs, whose intelligence ,is never questioned. Sometimes the ‘ dogs go prospecting on their on ac- count and each carries as upply of ’good wine in a-‘flask about his neck. Should he track and find some way- farer in the snow. or fallen down a precipice, he gallops to the hospice with a message that is unmistake- ahle. Then the rmue party goes out rubs the frosen limbs of the unfort- unate with handfuls of snow. and en- courage him to rise and walk a lit- tle. If this be impossible. or the victim be dead. he is-borne back on the stalwart shoulders of the monks’ attendants. - is Big Hoax they fear; it hurts their eyes which are always ’ aflected by rabies.
