There is probably no subject of moderr

investigation the cyclone has swept across the

as to the innocent dwellers in its track. One
| thing, however, s certain; the cause Of the
| cyclone must be sought far away from the
| whirling body of wind itself. Its results arc
powerful; its cause must also be powerful.
Let us therefore consider few facts First,
the appearance Of cyclone is invariably pre-
ceded by dark spots upon the face Of the sun.
These spots, indicating disturbed condition
| OF the solar regions, necessarily affect the at
| mosphere of our earth. An unusual genera
ton OF heat in one part uf the atmosphere is
certain to cause a partial vacuum in another
portion. Air must rush in to fill this vacuum.
Hence the disturbances-hence tie cyclone.
the fact that turnadoes 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 atmos-
phere 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 upon vegetation
and life in general shall be less than upon the
atmosphere itself through which its rays

After describing some OF the terrible effects
OF the cyclone, the speaker went on to say:-

Francisco-the click of the instrument manpu-
ated by his fingers, in New York. The Presi-
dent makes a slight stroke of his pen in his
study at the White House, and the whole ma
ton is aroused by the act. An uneasiness and
disgust with everything in life, commonly called
home-hickness, is to be 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. It is repeated
in other parts of the body. The appetite de-
parts and all energy is gone. Is the cause
necessarily to be found in the head2 The
next 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 becomes
chronic. The heart grows irregular, and the
breathing uncertain. All these effects have a
definite cause; and, after years of deep ex-
perience upon this subject, do not hesitate to

from that portion of the body in which these
effects appear. But one may say, have no
pain whatever in my kidneys or liver. Very
true. Neither have we any evidence that there

is none the less certain that the tornado is here
and it is none the less certain that these great

their aggravating nature, but because had
never felt any pain before. Other doctors told
me was troubled with malaria, and treated
myself accordingly. did not believe, however,
that malaria could show such aggravated
symptoms. 1t never occurred to me that
analysis could help solve the trouble, as 1 did
not presume my difficulty was located in that
