There is probably no subject Of mod

greater attention than the origin of tor
nadOes. Scientists have studied it for
the benefit of humanity; men have in
vestigated it for the welfare of their
families 1t has been a veXed subject
long considered, and through all this in

the land carrying destruction to scien-
fists as we'll as to the innocent jewellers
in its 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 consider few facts First.
the appearance of a cyclone is invaria-
bly, preceded by dark spots on the face
Of the sun. These spots, indicating a
disturbed condition Of the solar regions
necessarily affect the atmosphere of our
earth An unusual generation Of heat
in one part Of the atmosphere is
certain to cause q partial vacuum
III another portion. Air must rush
in to fill this vacuum. Hence the
disturbances hence the cyclone. This
theory finds additional confirmation in
the fact that tOrnadoes come during the

they may be, seem to cause great COM
motion III the atmosphere of the world,
and 1T is almost certain that the eX-
tremely wet weather of the present sea-
son can be accounted for on precisely
this basis. Is it reasonable to suppose
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 finds itsapplication 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 a
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,
commonly called inconsistencies, is felt
by 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 aggra-
waited. The slight pains in the head
Increase to agOnies. The nausea
becomes chronic The heart grows IL
regular and the breathing uncertain
All these effects have a definite cause;
and after years of deep experience upon
this subject, [ do not hesitate to say that
the cause is to be found in some de-
rangement of the kidneys or liver, far
away from that portion of the body in
which these effects appear. But one
may say, 81 have no pain whatever IN
my kidneys or liver" Very true
| Neither have we any evidence that there
IS a tornado on the face of the sun; but
it is none the less certain that the lorna

that these great organs are the cause of
the trouble although there may be no
pain in their vicinity.
