The editor OF the Problems Of Nature in
speaking of cyclones, says: Cyclones are
caused BY an unusual pouring of electricity
from the earth through the stocks Of plants
that have stopped growing, especially when
wheat has ceased to develop and cora has
stopped growing, the bursting of the stocks
allowing the current of electricity that con
structei them to pour oat. " hen this takes
place in large fields all the elements OF
cyclone are in the air The remedy he al
yises is that tue inhabitants OF each tow
or village shall bury their worthless Old iroi
in heap, in Il plot out OF the village, ie"
feet heiow the surface. The current o
electricity in the air that causes the cyclones
will he sure to move toward the first Of ihos,
beaps of iron, and be absorbed by il, to re
turn TO the common reservoir, the earth.
