TORNADOEs.
Scientifically Accounted for, and Some
Remote Causes that produce Pain.
full Results Explained.

The following synopsis Of lect;.,e de-
hvered by DR.. Horace r. Hamilton be-
fore the New York Society for the promo
ton 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 great.
or attention than the origin of tolnadocs.
Scientists have studied it for the benefit Of
humanity; men have investigated 1t for the
welfare of their families. It has been a
vexed subject long considered, and through
oil this investigation the cyclone has swept
across tho land carrying destruction to
scientists as we'll as to the Innocent dwell
ers in its track. One thing, however, is
certain; the cause of the cyclone must be
sought far away from the whirllng 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 invariably
preceded by dark spots upon the tace OF
the sun. These spots, indicating dis
turbcd 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 q par.
tial vacuum in another portion. Air must
rush in TO fill this vacuum. Hence the DIS
turbances-hence the cyclone. This theory
finds additional confirmation in the fact
that tornadocs come during the day and
not at night. The dark spots upon the
surface Of the sun, whatever they may be,
seem to cause great commotion in the at
mosphere of tho world. and 1t Is almost
certain that the extremely wet weather Of
the present season can be accounted for on
precisely this basis. Is 1t 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 Gomez Tho
cause is remote, but the effect is hero.
After describing some of the terrible CT
fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on
to say
This rule finds its application IN nearly

after years of deep experience upon this
