The following synopsis OF lecture de-
hvcred by DR.. Horace r. Hamilton be-
fore the New York Society for the promo
ton OF science, contains 30 much that Is
timely and important that it can be read
with both interest aud profit:
There ls probably no subject of modern
times that has caused Snd ie causing great.
,er attention than the origiH Of tornadoes.
Scientists have studied It for the benefit OF
humanity; men have Investigated 1t for the
welfare OF their families. It has been q
vexed subject long considered, and through
all this investigation the cyclone has swept
across tho land carrying destruction to
scientists as well as to the lanocent DWELL
crs in its track. Ono thing, however, is
certain; the cause Of tho cyclone must DO
sought far away from the whirllng body
of wind itself. Its results arc powerful;
its cause must also DO powerful. Let us
therefore consider few facts. First, the
appearance OF cyclone ls Invariably
preceded by dark spots upon the face OF
the sun. These spots, indicating a dis.
turbed condition Of the solar regions, nee
essarlly affect the atmosphere of our earth.
An unusual generation of heat IN one part
Of the atmosphere is certain to cause a par.
tial vacuum in another portion. Air must
rush in 10 fill this vacuum. Hence tho dis
turbancos-hence the cyclone. This theory
finds additional confirmation in tho fact
That tornadocs come during the day and
not at night. Tho dark spots upon tho
surface Of the sun, whatever they may be,
seem to cause great commotion in the at

certain that the extremely wet weather OF
the present season can be accounted for on
precisely this basis. Is 1t reasonable to
suppose tnat the marvellous effect OF the
sun upon vegetation and life in general
shall be less than upon the atmosphere
itself through which its rays Gomez Tho
cause is remote, but the elect is here.
After describing somo of the terrible ef-
fects Of the cyclone, the speaker went on
to say:--
This rule finds its application in nearly

these effects have q definite cause; and.
after years of deep experience upon this
