The following synopsis Of q lecture de-
liyered by DIR. Horace r. Hamilton before
The New ork society for the promotion OF
science, contains SO much that IS timely anu
important that it can be read with both IN
terest and profit:
there is probably no subject Of modern
times thai has caused and is causing greater
attention than the origin of ~tornadoes. Sci
entists have studied it for tho benefit or hu-
mapity; mon have Investigated 1t for the
welfare of their families. 1t has been a

It's results arc powerful; its cause must also
be powerful. Let us thoreso:e consider a
few facts. First, the appearance of a cy-
c!onei is Invariably preceded by dark spots
upon the face Of tho sun. These spots, in
d~icating q disturbed condition of the solar
regions, necessarily affect the atmosphere OF
ouc eirth. An unusual generation OF heat
in one part of the atmosphere is certain to
cluse q partial vacuum in another portion.
Air must rush in 10 fill this vacuum. Henc

| theory find additional confirmation IN the
| fact that tornadoes come during the day and
not at night. The dark spots upon the sur
| face of the sun, whatever they may be, seem
to cause great connection in the atmosphere
of the world, and it is almost certain that
the extremely wet weather OF the present
season can he accounted for on precisely this
basis. Is it reasonable 10 suppose ira the
marvellous effect of tho sun upon vegetation
and life in general shall be less than upon
the atmos phere itself through which its rays
come? The cause is remote, but the efe.:
is here.
After describing some of the terrible eff
fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on 10
