Remote Causes that produce Pain
fnl Results Explained.
The following synopsis Of lecture de-
l,vered by DR.. Horace II. Hamilton be.
fore the New York Society for the promo
tlon OF science, contains 80 much that Is
timely and important that 1t Can be read
with both Interest and profit:
There ID probably no subject of modern
times that has caused and is causing great.
er attention than the origin Of tornadoes.
Sc,entists have studied 1t for the benefit OF
humanity; mon have investigated 1t for the
welfare Of their families. 1t has been a
Ivexed subject long considered, and through
Iall this investigation the cyclone has swept
across tho land carrying destruction to
scientists as well as to the lnnocent DWELL
ers in It's track. Ono thing, however Is
certain; the cause OF the cyclone must be
sought far away from the whirllng body
Of wind itself. Its results are powerful;
its cause must also be powerful. Let us
therefore consider few facts. First, tho
appearance OF cyclone ls Invariably
preceded by dark spots upon the face OF
the sun. These spots, indicating a dis.
turbed condition of the solar regions, nec-
essarlly affect the atmosphere of our earth.
An unusual generation of heat In ono part
OF the atmosphere Ia certain to cause par.
tial vacuum in another portion. Air must
rush In TO fill this vacuum. Hence the dis
turbances-hence the cyclone. This theory
finds additional confirmation in the fact
that tornadoes come during the day and
not at night. The dark spots upon tho
surface Of the sun, whatever they may be,
seem to cause great commotion in the at
mosphere 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 1t reasonable to
suppose tnat 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 hero.
After describing some of the terrible ef-
fects Of the cyclone, the speaker went on
to say
This rule finds its application in nearly
every department OF life. An operator ls

The next day the feeling increases. There
are added symptoms. They continue and
become more aggravated. The slight pans
IN the head increase to agonies. The nau-
sea becomes chronic. The heart grows
Arrcgular, and 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
portion Of the body IN which these effects
appear. But one may say, have no pain
whltcver In my kidneys Or liver. Very
true. Neither have we my evidence that
there is a tornado on tho surface OF tho
sun; but 1t is none the less certain that the
tornado 10 here, and 1t is none the less GER
tain that these great organs Of the body
arc the cause OF tho trouble although there
may be no pain in their vicinity.
