scientifically Accounted for, and Some
Remote Causes that Pata-
ful ResuIts Explained.

The following synopsis Of q lecture defiv-
bv DIR. Horace 4. Hamilton before The New
York Society for the Promotion Of Science,
contains 30 much that it is timely and inn
portsut that it can be read With both interest
and profit:
There il probably no subject Of modern
times that hiss caused aud is causing greater
attention than the origin Of tornadoes Scien-
fists have studied it for the hetsSta hr-
mainly; men have investigated IL for the
welfare of their families. IL has been q vexed
subject long considered, and through all this
investigation the cyclone has swept across
the land carrying destruction TO the scien-
lists as we'll as to the innocent jewellers N Its
track. One thing, however, Is certaius the
cause Of the cycloue 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 a lew
facts. First, the appearance OF q cyclone IL
| invariably preceded by dark spots upon The
face Of the sun These spots, indicsting
disturbed condition OF the solar regions, nee
| cessarily affect the atmosphere Of our earth.
An unusual generation OF heat in one part OF
| the atmosphere is certain to cause q partial
| vacuum in another portion. Air must rueh
| in TO fill this vacuum. Hence the disturbances
hence the cyclone. This theory finds adj
| ditional confirmation in the fact that lorna
does come during the day and not at night.
The dark spots upon the surface OF the sun,
whatever they may be, seem 10 cause great
commotion in the atmosphere Of the world,
and il is almost certain that the extremel-
wet weather OF the present season eau be-
counted for on precisely this basis.

The President makes a slight ~tI1ke OF his

by many people, when the cause is TO be

head. Ii is repeated in other parts oil the
body. The appetite departs and all energy
