american and canadian telegraph oom- panies a memorial setting forth the griev- anoes of the operators and employees generally and petitioning for a redress of the same tbedemanda of the telegraph era were redncea to four in number viz that sunday work as a compobory duty be 1 totally abolished unless compensated as extra service that eight hours constitute a regular days work and seven hours a regular nights work that both sexes shall receive equal pay for equal work and finally that a universal increase be granted on all salaries- the memorials were unaccompanied by any threat to strike in case the companies refused to comply with their demands and simply requested an answer from the officials fay noon last thursday rfthe employers unfortunately proved obdurate and manifested every inclination to resist the reasonable demands of a body without whom the commercial and political world would have to come almost ti a standstill at the appointed time no answer had been received from the companies and at noon bharp as a mysterious signal dashed along the wires the finest concerted action the world has ever seen was taken without bluster or show by some 13000 merr and women spread all over the american con tinent a general telegraphic strike had taken place it now remains to be seen which will remain out the longest the employers or the employed thesympathy of the general

deputation waited upon hon mr hardy lavins a copy of their resolution before him and after dis- j cussing the question mr hardy sustained the views taken by the deputation as to new york tocity or the promotion ol cienoe contain so much that u timely and important that it ban bo read with both interest and profit then u probablyno tubjeot ot modern times that has canted and iioaualng greater attention than the origin of tornadoet sciential have studied it for the benefit of humanity men have investigated it for the welfan of their families it hat been a vexed mbjeot long considered and through all this investigation the cyclone hu swept across the land carrying destruc tion to scientists as well as the innocent dwellers in its track one thing however is certain the cause of the oyclone must be sought far sway from the whirling body of wind itself its results are powerful its cause must also bo powerful let us therefore oonsidcr a few facts first the appearance of a cyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots upon the face of the bun these spots indicating a dis turbed condition of the solar regions neces sarily affect the atmosphere of our earth an unusual generation of best 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 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 presicely this basis is it reasonable to suppose that the marvelous effect of the son upon vegetation and life in general shall be less than upon the atmosphere it self through which its rays come the cause is remote but the effect is here fafter 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 instru ment manipulated by his fingers in new vork the president makes a alight 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 u is repeated in other parts of the body the appetite departs and all energy is gone is the cause neces sarily to be found in the head the next day the feeling increases there are added j symptoms they continue and beebme more aggravated the slight pains in the head increase to agonies the nausea becomes chronic the heart grows irreg ular and the breathing uncertain all these effects have a definite cause and after years of deep experience upon this subject i do not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some derangement of the kidneys or liver far away from that portion of thebody in which- these effects appear but one may say i have no pain whatever in my kidneys or liver very true xeither have we any evidence that there is a tornado an the surfac of the sun but it is none the less certain that the tor- uado 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 bo no pain in their vicinity i know wliertof i speak for i have passed through- this very- experience myself kearly ten years ago i wis the pictnre of health weighing more than 200 pounds and as strong and healthy as any man i ever knew when i felmhe symptoms i bare above described they caused me annoyance not only by reason of their aggravating nature but because i had never felt any pain before other doctors told me i w troubled with malaria and i tried myself accordingly i did not be- lieve however that malaria could show such aggravated symptoms it never oc curred to me that analysis would help solve the trouble as i did not presume my diffi culty was located in that portion of the body but i continued to grow worse hid a faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly ever day i felt a great desire to eau and yet i loathed foot was constanifly tired and still i could not sleep my brain was unusually active but i could not think connectedly my exist ence was a living misery i continued in this conditio i for nearly a year never free from pain lever for a moment nappy such an exis tence is far worse than death for which i confess i earnestly longed it was while suffering thus that a friend advised me to make a final attempt to recover my health i sneered inwardly at his suggestionbut i was too weak to make any resistence he furnished me with remedy simple yet palatable and within two days i observed a slight change for the better this awakened my courage felt that i wtjold not die at that time continued tlie use of the remedy taking it in accordanoe vith directions until i be came not only restored to my former health and ktrtfiistu but of greater vigor than i have before known this condition has continued q to the present time and i believe i thculd have died as miserable as thousands oi other men have died and are dying every day had it not been for the sinlple yet ronderful power of warners safe cure t le remedy i employed ue leclm eer then described his means of restoration- aiore in detail and concluded as
