scientifically Accounted for, and
Some Remote Causes that
prodnce Painful Results
Explained.
The following synopsis of a lee
ture delivered by DIR. Horace r..
Hamilton before the New York So
ciety 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 tornadoes. Scientists
have studied it for the benefit of
humanity; men have investigated
it for the welfare of their families.
1t has been a Vexed subject long
considered, and through all this III
vestigatiOn the cyclone has swept
across the land carrying destruc-
ton to scientists rs well as to the
innocent jewellers IMP 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 pow
erful its cause must also be power
full. 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 a disturbed
condition of the solar regions, nee
.essarily affect the atmosphere of
our earth. An unusual generation
of heat in one part of the atmOs-
phere is certain to cause a partial
vacuum i'm another portion. Air
must rush in to fill this vacuum.
Hence the sturbances-hence the
cyclone. This theory finds addi-
tiOnal 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
conmOtion 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 rea-
sonable to suppose that the marvel
Gus effect of the sun upon Vegeta-
ton and life in general shall be less
than upon the atmosphere itself
through which it's rays come? The
cause is remote, but the effect is
here.
After describing some OF the ter
rible effects 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
ulated 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 ia 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 de-
parts and all energy is gone. Is
the cause necessarily to be found in
the head? The next day the feel
ing increases. There are added
symptoms. They continue and be-
come more aggravated. The slight
pains in the head increase to ago
MES. The nausea becomes chronic.
the heart grows irregular, and the
breathing uncertain. All these ef-
fects have definite cause and, af-
ter years of deep experience upon
this subject, do not hesitate to say
that this cause is to be found in
some derangment of the kidneys or
liver far away from that portion of
the body in which these effects APP
pear. But one may say, / have no
pain whatever in my kidneys or
liver. Very true. Neither have |
we any evidence that there is a tor
nadO 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.
