TORNADOES.
Scientifically Accounted for, and Some
Remote Causes that Produce Pain
ful Results Explained.

The following synopsis of lecture de-
livered by DIR. Horace II. 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 torna-
does. Scientists have studied it for the
benefit of humanity; men have investi-
gated 1t for the welfare of their families.
1t has been a yexed subject long consid-
cred, and through all this investigation the
cyclone has swept across the land carrying
destruction to scientists as well as to the
innocent jewellers in its track. One thing,
however, is certain; the cause of the cy-
clone must be 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 a cyclone
is invariably preceded by dark spots upon
the face of the sun. These spots, indicating
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 distur banceS-hence the cyclone.
This theory finds additional confirmation
i'll 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 connection 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 cause
is remote, but the effect is here. 1l
After describing some of the terrible eff
fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on
to say:-
This rule finds its application in nearly
every department of life. An operator is in
San Francisco-the click of the Instrument
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, 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 adj
ded symptoms. They continue and be-
come more aggravated. The slight pains
in the head increase to agonies. The nausea
becomes chronic. The heart grows irregu-
lar, and the 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 portion of the body in which these eff.
fects appear. But one may say, have
no pain whatever in my kidneys or liver.
Very true. Neither have we any evidence
that there is 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. n o.,
know whereof speak, for l have passed
through this very experience myself.
Nearly ten years ago, was the picture of

and as strong and healthy as any man |
ever knew. When / felt the symptoms I
have above described, they caused me an

gravating nature, but because | had never
felt any pain BEFORE Other doctors told
me I Veasi troubled with malaria, and l
treated myself accordingly. / did not be-
lieve, however, that. malaria could show
such agsraSated~ symptoms. n 1t never oc-

body. But L continued to grow worse. 1

desire to eat, and yet | loathed food. l was
constantly tired and still could not sleep.
My brain was unusually active, but l could
not think commercially. My existence was
q living misery. / continued in this con-

pain, never for moment happy. Such an
existence is far worse than death, for which
/ confess l earnestly longed. i.s
1t was while suffering thus that friend
advised me to make a final attempt to re-
cover my health. 1 sneered inwardly at
his suggestion, but l was too week to make
any resistance. He furnished me with
remedy, simple yet palatable, and within
two days | observed a slight change for
the better. This awakened my courage. I
felt that | would not die at that time. L

in accordance with directions, until / be-

time, and | believe l should have died as
miserably as thousands of other men have
died and are dying every day had it not

The lecturer then described his means of
restoration more in detail, and concluded
as follows:
My complete recovery has caused me to
Investigate the subject more carefully, and
/ believe l have discovered the key to most
ill-health of our modern civilization. l am
fully confident that four.ffths of the dis
eases which effiict humanity might be
avoided were the kidneys and liver kept in
perfect condition. Were it possible to con-
troll the action of the sun, cyclones could
undoubtedly be averted. That, however.
is one of the things that can not be. But

the kidneys and liver; to render their ac-
