scientifically Accounted for, and
Some Remote Causes that Produce
Painful Results Explained.
The following synopsis Of a lecture de.
by DIR. Horace r. Hamilton be-
fore the New York society for the pro-
motion 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
greater attention than the origin of lorna
does. Scientists have studied it for the
benefit ofhumanity; men have investiea-
ted it for the welfare oftheir families. 1t
has beena 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 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 con
slider a few facts. First, the appearance
of a cyclone is invariably preceded by
dark spots upon the face of the sun.
These spots indicating a disturbed condi-
ton OF the solar regions, necessarily at
feet the atmosphere OF our earth. An
unusual generation of heat in n part
of the atmosphere is certain to cause a
partial u in another portion. Air
must rush in to fill this vacuum Hence
the disturbances-hence the cyclone.
This theory finds additional contirma-
ton in the fact that tornadoes come dur.
ing the day and not at night. The dark
spots upon the surface of the sun, what
ever they may be, 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 can be accounted for on precise
ly this basis, Is it reasonable to sup
pose 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 indsits application 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, 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
tinue and become more aggravated.
The slight pains in the head increase to
agonies. The nausea becomes chronic.
breathing uncertain. All these effects
have a 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 II may say, ] have no
pain whatever in my kidneys or liver.
Very true. Neither have we any evil
dence that there is a 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.
l know whereof l speak, for I have
passed through this very experience my
self. Nearly ten years ago. was the pic

did not believe, however, that malaris
could show such aggravated symptoms
1t occurred to me that analysis
would help solve the trouble, as | did
not presume my difficulty was located
in that portion of the body. But | con.

present time. and | believe | should have

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