The following synopsis Of q lecture de-
livered by Dr. Horace n. Hamilton before
the New York Society for the Promotion Of
Science, contains SO much that is timely and
important that II can be read with both in
terest and profit:
There Is probably no subject Of modern
| times that has caused and Is causing greater
attention than the origin OF tornadoes.
Scientists have 81 iudied it for the benefit Of
| humanity; men have investigated II for the
welfare OF their families. 1t has been o
vexed subject long considered, and through
all this inves igaiion the cyclone has swept
across the land carr ying des iuction to sci
entists as well as to the innocent dwel-eis
| 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
It's results are powerful its cause must also
be powerful Let us therefore consider a
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 q partial vacuum In another portion
Air must rush in TO fill this vacuum Hence
the disturbances-henc 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 1t Is almost
certain that the extremely wet weather
| OF the present season can be accounted for
| on precisely this ba is Is it reasonable to
| suppose 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 Gomez 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:

these effects have definite cause: and, after

i do not hes tate to say that this cause is to
be found in some arrangement of the kid

in which these effects appear. But one may

or liver. Very true. Neither have we any
evidence that there Is a tornado on the sur
face of the sun; but 1t is none the less GER
tain 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 al
though there may be no pains in their
vicinity
