cyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots
upon the face of the sun. These spsts. indi-

earth. An unusual generation of heat in one
part Of the atmosphere is certain to cause n
partial vacuum in another portion. Air must
rush in to till this vacuum Hence the dis:ur-
Dances hence the cyclone. This theory finds
additional confirmation in the fact that lorna

kidneys and liver kept in perfect condition.
Were it possible to control the action of the
sun, cyclones could undoubtedly be averted.
That, however, is one of the things that can
not be. But rejoice to say that it is possible
to control the kidneys and liver to render their
action wholly normal, and their effect upon the
system that of purifiers rather than prisoners.
