Remote Causes that Produce Pain
full Results Explained.
The following synopsis Of q lecture de.
livered by DR.. Horace r. Hamilton before
the New York Society for the Promotion 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 1t for the
benefit Of humanity; men have investi-
gated it for the welfare of their families.
It has been vexed subject long consid-
cred, and through all this investigation the
cyclone has swept across the land carrying
destruction to scientists as we'll as to the
innocent dwellers in its track. One thing,
however, is certain; the cause of the cy-
clone must DO sought far away from the
whirling body of wind itself. Its results
are powerful; its cause must also be pow"
erful. Let us therefore consider few
facts. First, the appearance of cyclone
is invariably preceded by dark spots upon
the face Of the sun. These spots, indicating
a disturbed condition Of the solar regions,
necessarily affect the atmosphere of our
earth. An unusual generation of heat in
one part of the atmosphere is certain to
cause partial vacuum in another portion.
Air must rush in to fill this vacuum.
Hence the disturbances-hencet the cyclone.
This theory finds additional confirmation
in the fact that tornadoes 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
atmosphere of the world, and it is almost
certain that the extremely wet weather OF
the present season can be accounted for
on precisely this basis. Is it reasonable
to suppose that the marvellous effect of the
sun on vegetation and life in general shall
be less than upon the atmosphere itself
through which its rays come? The causo
is remote, but the effect is here.
After describing some Of the terrible ef.
fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on
to say

The President makes slight stroke of the

uneasiness and disgust with everything in
life, commonly called inconsistencies, IS
felt by many people, when the cause is to
be found 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 neces-
sarily to be found in the head !? The next
day the feeling increases. There are ad-
ded symptoms. They continue and be-

| in the head increase to agonies. The nausea
