         Rabies is a contagious infection of the central nervous system,caused by a specific virus known as rhabdovirus,and is almost always fatal when vaccine is not administered right away.In most cases,the transmission of this virus begins when the saliva of an infected host enters an uninfected human or animal through a bite.Since the virus is also airborne,rabies infection can also develop in uninfected humans or animal after breathing the air,for instance,in a cave that houses a large number of infected bats.It takes 3-12 weeks for the virus to incubate in the new host.

        In humans,initial symptoms include irritation and pain at the site of the now healed bite wound,malaise,fever,and headache.This first stage lasts for about 2 daays,and in the next phase,the victim experiences as period of excitation,in which he or she becomes irritable,frenzied,anxious,and hypersensitive,and this condition may be intensified by difficult breathing and swallowing.The victim is extremely thirsty but experiences spasms of the larynx when water is presented or even mentioned;hence,the original name of the disease is hydrophobia(Greek hydro meaning water and phobos,meaning fear)This episode lasts for about 3 to 5 days and usually terminates in death from a convulsive seizure or from cardiac or respiratoryfailure.

        In animals,rabies takes two forms:furious or irritable rabies and dumb or paralytic rabies.The stage of furious rabies are similar to those through which an infected human passes.The difference lies in the stage of excitation,during which the animal runs wildly,biting and snapping at any living thing in its path.In dumb rabies,which is not as commom as furious rabies,the stage of excitation is very short or absent,so the paralytic stage sets in early in the disease,first attacking the muscles of the jaws and larynx(voice box in the throat).

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
