Dog days \Dog" days`\       A period of from four to six weeks, in the summer, variously       placed by almanac makers between the early part of July and       the early part of September; canicular days; -- so called in       reference to the rising in ancient times of the Dog Star       (Sirius) with the sun. Popularly, the sultry, close part of       the summer.          Note: The conjunction of the rising of the Dog Star with the                rising of the sun was regarded by the ancients as one                of the causes of the sultry heat of summer, and of the                maladies which then prevailed. But as the conjunction                does not occur at the same time in all latitudes, and                is not constant in the same region for a long period,                there has been much variation in calendars regarding                the limits of the dog days. The astronomer Roger Long                states that in an ancient calendar in Bede (died 735)                the beginning of dog days is placed on the 14th of                July; that in a calendar prefixed to the Common Prayer,                printed in the time of Queen Elizabeth, they were said                to begin on the 6th of July and end on the 5th of                September; that, from the Restoration (1660) to the                beginning of New Style (1752), British almanacs placed                the beginning on the 19th of July and the end on the                28th of August; and that after 1752 the beginning was                put on the 30th of July, the end on the 7th of                September. Some English calendars now put the beginning                on July 3d, and the ending on August 11th. A popular                American almanac of the present time (1890) places the                beginning on the 25th of July, and the end on the 5th                of September.
