TORNADOES.
Scientifically Accounted for, ana some re-
mote Causes that Produce Painful. Re-
suits Explained.
The following synopsis Of lecture de-
livered by DR.. Horace r. Hamilton before
the New York society for the promotlon OF
science, contains 30 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 1t Tor the benent Oh
humanity; men have investigated it for the
welfare OF their families. 1t has been a
vexed subject long considered. and through
all this investigation the cyclone has swept
across the land carrying destruction TO
scientists as we'll as to the innocent dwell
ers 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. Its results are powerful; It's
cause must also be powerful. Let us, there
fore, consider a few facts. First, the APP
pearance of a cyclone is invariably preceded
by dark spots upon the face of the sun.
These spots, indicating disturbed condi-
ton OF the solar regions, necessarily affect
the atmosphere of our earth. An unusual
generation ofheat in one part OF the atmos-
phere is certain to cause partial vacuum IN
another portion. Air must rush in to NIL
this vacuum. Hence the MISUNDERSTANDING
the cy clone. 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 sreat
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 basis. Is 1t
reasonable to suppose that the marvellous
effect OF the sun upon vegetation and lie IN
general shall be less than upon the atmos,
phere itself through which 1t rays Gomez
The cause is remote, but the effect is here.
After describing some of the terrible ef-
fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on to
This rule finds its application in nearly
every department of life. An operator is in

The whole nation is aroused by the act. An
uneasiness and disgust with everything in
life. commonly colled 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

day the feeling increases. There are added
symptoms. They continue and become
more aggravated. The slight pains in the
head increase to agonies. The nausea be-
comes chronic. The heart grows irregular,
and the breathing uncertain. ALL these eff
fects have q 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
