of Scienfe contains so much that is Timely
and imp ktsnt thst ii can be read with
both iRtefest and profit:
There b probably no subject of modern
times that has caused and is causing greater
attention than the origin of tornadoes.
Scientists have studied ii for the benefit of
humanity: men have investigated 1t for
the welfare Of their families. 1t has been
o vexedf subject long considered, and
through all this investigation the cyclone
has SWEPT across the land carrying destruc.
tion to scientists as we'll as to the innocent
dwellers inits 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 there
fore consider few facts. First, the ap.
pearance Of cyclone is invariably preced
ed by dark spots upon the face OF the sun.
These spots, indicatinga a disturbed condi-
tion OF the solar regions, necessarily affect
the atmosphere of our earth. An unusual
generation of heat in one part of the at
mosphere is certain to cause partial
vacuum. in another portion. Air must

disturbances-hence the cyclone. This
theory finds additional confirma-
ton 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 1t
reasonable to suppose that the marvellous
effect OF the sun upon vegetation and life
in general shall be less than upon the at
mosphere itself through which It's 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 San Francisco-the click of the instru-
ment manipulated by his fingers in New
York. 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 hone.
sickness, is felt by many people, when the
cause is to be found in the distant
home thousands of miles away. An un-
certain pain may be felt in the head. 1t IS
repeated in other parts Of the body. The
appetite departs and all energy is gone. Is
the cause necersarily TO be found in the
head? The next day the feeling increases
There are added symptoms. They continue
and became more aggravated. The slight
IN haa aI n
nausea become chr onic. The heart grows
irregular, and the breathing uncertain. All
these effects have definite canse;
and, after years OF deep expsri-
ence upon thisl subject, 10 not hesitat" to
say that this cause is to be found In some
arrangement of the kidneys or liver lar
away from that portion OF the body in
which these effects appear. But one may
say, have no pain whatever in my kid
neys 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.

through this very experience myself:
Nearly ten years ago was the picture OF
health, weighing more than 200 pounds,
and as strong and healthy as any man |
ever knew. When felt the symptoms

annoyance, not only by reason OF their
aggravating nature, but because had never
felt any pain before. Other. doctors told
me | was troubled with malaria, and treat.
ed myself accordingly. did not believe,
however, that malaria could show such ag.
grayated symptoms. 1t never occurred to
me that analysis would help solve the
trouble, as did not presume my difficulty
was located in that portion OF the body.
