The following synopsis of lecture de.
liverod by DR.. Horace R. Hamilton be-
fore the New York society for the pro-
motion Of science, contains 90 much that
Is timely and important that it can be
read with both interest and profit:
There is probably no subject of modern
greater attention than the origin of torna-
does. Scientists have studied it for the
benefit Of humanity; men have investiga-
ted It for the welfare oftheir families. It
has boena vexed subject long considered,
and through all this investigation the
cyclone has swept across the land carry
ing destruction to scientists as we'll a. to
the innocent dwellers in it's track. One
thing, however, is certain; the cause Of
the cyclone must be sought far away
from the whirling body of wind itself.
Its results are powerful; its cause must
also be powerful. Let US therefore con.
cider 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
partial vacuum in another portion. Air
must rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the cyclone.
This theory finds additional contirma-
ing the day and not ut night. The dark
spots upon the surface of the sun, what
ever they may be, seem to cause great
commotion in the atmosphere of the
world, and it is almost certain that the
extremely wet weather of tho present
season can be accounted for on precise.
" 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 life. An operator
is in San Francisco-the click of the in.
strument manipulated by his fingers, in
New York. The president makes slight
stroke Of the pen in his study at the
White House, and the whole nation is
aroused by the act. An uneasiness and
disgust with everything in life, COM
monty called Inconsistencies, is felt by

found in the distant home thousands of
miles away. An uncertain pain NAV be
felt in the head. 1t 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-
time and become more aggravated.
The slight pains in the head increase to
ag0nies. The nausea becomes chronic
The heart grows irregular. AM 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, 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.

The lecturer then described his means
of restoration more in detail, and con-
clnded as follows:
My complete recovery has caused me
to investigate the subject more carefully,

to most i'll health of our modern civiliza-

mainly might be avoided were the kid

We're it possible to control the action of

averted. That, however, is one OF the
things that cannot be. But rejoice to
say that it is possible to control the kid

wholly normal, and their effect upon
the system that of purifiers rather than
poisoners. That this end has been &C.
