TORNADOES.
Scientifically Aceountea for, and
Some Remote Causes that Produce

motion Of science, contains so much that
is timely and important that it can be
read with both interest and profit:
There is probably no subject of modern
times that has caused and is causing
greater attention than the origin of lorna

benefit OF humanity; men have investiga.
ted it for the welfare oftheir families. II
has been vexed subject long considered
and through all this investigation the
| cyclone has swept across the land carry
ing destruction to scientists rs we'll as to
| the innocent dwellers in its track. One
| thing, however, is certain; the cause Of
| the cyclone must be sought lar away
from the whirling body of wind itself
Its results are powerful; its cause must
also be powerful. Let us therefore con.
slider few facts. First, the appearance
of cyclone is invariably preceded by
| dark spots upon the face of the sun.
These spots indicating disturbed condi-
| ton OF the solar regions, necessarily af-
| feet the atmosphere OF our earth. An
| unusual generation of heat in one part
| of the atmosphere is certain to cause a
partial vacuum in another portion. Air
| must rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence
| the observation-disclosures the cyclone.
| This theory finds additional confirma-
| ton in the fact that tornadoes come dur
| ing the day and not at night. The dark
| spots upon the surface of the sun, what
ever they may he. seem To cause great
commotion in the atmosphere of the
world, and it is almost certain that the
extremely wet weather of the present
season can be accounted for on precise
| ly this basis. Is it reasonable to sup
pose that the marvellous effect of the sun
upon vegetation and life in general shall
be less than upon the atmosphere itself
through which its rays come? The cause
is remote, but the effect is here.
After describing some of the terrible
effects of the cyclone, the speaker went
on to say
This rule findsits application in nearly
every department of fife. An operator

many people, when the cause is to be
found in the distant home thousands of
miles away. An uncertain pain may be
felt in the head. It is repeated in other
parts of the body. The appetite departs
and all energy is gone. Is the cause
necessarily to be found in the head?
The next day the feeling increases.
There are added symptoms. They con-
tinue and become more aggravated.
The slight pains in the head increase to
agonies The nausea becomes chronic.
The heart grows irregular, an the
breathing uncertain. All these effects
have definite cause; and, after years of
deep experience upon this subject, do
not hesitate to say that this cause is to
be found in some arrangement of the
kidneys or liver far away from that por-
ton of the body in which these effects
appear. But one may say, l have no
pain whatever in my kidneys or liver.
Very true. Neither have. we any evil
dence that there is a tornado on the
surface of the sun; but it is none the less
certain that the tornado is here, and it
is none the less certain that these great
organs of the body are the cause of the
trouble although there may be no pain
in their vicinity.

pounds, and as strong and healthy as any

cluded as follows:
