The following synopsis of lecture de-
1ivered by DR.. Horace r. 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 lorna.
does. Scientists have studied it for the
benefit of humanity; men have investi-
gated it for the welfare of their families.
1t has been vexed 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. It's results
are powerful; its cause must also he Low
erful. 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
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 disturbances-hencet the cyclone.
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 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.
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

The President makes 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
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 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.

The lecturer then described his means of
restoration more in detail, and concluded
rs follows:
