TORNADOES.
scientifically Accounted for, and Some
Remote Causes that Produce Pain
ful Results Explained.

Inc following synopsis of 3 lecture de-
hyered by DR.. Horace R Hamilton. be-
fore the New York society for the pro-
motion of science, contains somuch that
IS timely and important that it can be
read with both interest and profit.

greater attention than the origin of tor

families, 1t has been veNed subject
4 long considered, and through all this in
I veStigation the cyclone has swept across
the land carrying destruction to scien-
fists as well as to the innocent jewellers
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:
its cause must also be powerful. Let
us therefore consider few facts. First,
the appearance of a cyclone is invaria-
bly, preceded by dark spots on 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 a partial vacuum
in another portion. Air must rush
in to fill this vacuum. Hence the
disturbances hence 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 COM
motion i'll the atmosphere of the world
and it is almost certain that the OK

this basis. 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 come? 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:
This rule finds its application in nearly
every department of life An operator
/ is in San Francisco the click of the in
strument manipulated by his fingers in
! New York. The president makes n
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 home sickness, 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 i'll other
parts of the body. The appetite departs
and all energy Is gone. Is the cause
necessarily to be found in the head:
The next day the feeling increases.
There are added symptoms. They con
tinue and become more aggra-
waited. The slight pains in the head
increase to agonies. The nausea
becomes chronic. The heart grows If
regular 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
the cause is to be found in some de-
rangement of the kidneys or liver far
away from that portion of the body in
which these effects appear. But one
may say, Il have no pain whatever i'll
my kidneys or liver" Very true.
Neither have we any evidence that there
is tornado on the face of the sun; but
| it is none the less certain that the lorna
do is here, and it is none the less certain
that these great organs are the cause of
the trouble although there may be no
pain in their vicinity.

symptoms have above described, they

of their aggraI ating nature, but because

year; never free from pain, never for 4
