3 TORNADOEs. Bs
Scientifically Accounted for, and
Some Remote Causes that Produce
Painful Results Explained.
The following synopsis of lecture de.
livered by DR.. Horace r. Hamilton be-
fore the New York society for the pro-
motion 81 science, contains so much that
is timt ~ 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 attentlonthan the origin of lorna
does. Scientists have studied it for the
benefit of Humanity; men have investia-
ted 1t for the welfare OF their families, It
has been vexed subject long considere |,
and through all this investigation the
cyclone has swept across the land carry
ing destruction to scientists as we'll as to
the Innocent dwellers 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 con.
slider few facts. First, the appearance
Of q cyclone is invariably preceded by
dark spots upon the face of the sun.
These spots indicating disturbed condi-
ton OF the solar regions, necessarily az
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 fll this vacuum. Hence
the disturbances-hence 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 uponthe surface of the sun, what
ever they may ,ue, 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 ran be accounted for on precise
~ this b.sis. Is it reasonable to sup.
pose that the marvellous effect of the san
upon vegetation and life in general shall
be less tlmn upon the atmosphere itself
through which it's 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 indsitsapplication 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
many people, when the cause is to be
fount IN the distant home thousands of
miles away. An uncertain pain may 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-
III 1Inue ana become more aggravated.
The slight pains in the head increase to
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, I have no
pain whatever in my kidneys or liver.
Very true. Neither have we any evil
dence that there is 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.

This condition has continued up to the

The lecturer then described his means
of restoration more in detail, and con-
cluded as follows:
