THE SUN A BUBBLE.-Sir W. Her
schel thought the sun had a luminous
envelope, and that beneath it was a hab-
liable world. Sir John Herschel went
beyond his father, and admitting the
possible GOODNESS of the real solar globe,
and the consequent possibility of the
existence of the ordinary forms of life
upon it, he nevertheless preferred to re-
gard the true inhabitants of the sun not
simply as capable of bearing intense heat
but as themselves emitting the chief part
of the light and heat which we receive
from the sun. Now we are told by Pro-
fessor Young, of Dartmouth College,
that the sun is bubble. He considers
that the sun has no permanent crust,
nor in fact any envelope which can in
the ordinary senseI of the term be re-
garded as a crust at all. But inasmuch
as the vaporous globe of the sun is in
the presence of what Sir John Herschel
has called "the cold of space" process
necessarily takes place over its whole
outer surface corresponding to the form
alton of clouds in our skies, when the
vapor of water has risen to such height
as to be condensed into the form of visi-
bic cloud. The vapors of the suns globe
consist in the main, we know, of the
metallic elements, and these metallic va
pors would ccndense into clouds COM
posed of minute globules (or perhaps
vesicles) of fluid metal. But such clouds
would not usually remain in the simple
cloud form. They would be continually
gathering with a rapidity of formation
incomparably exceeding that which we
recognize in our summer clouds, even
when a great storm is approaching.
They would become rain clouds, the rain
falling from them consisting simply of
molten metals. More and more heavy
would this metallic rain become as it
descended, even as our own rains are
heavier at low levels than at considera-
BILE heights. Quite low down, and when
approaching the region where the intense
heat of the SUMS interior would revapor.
Use them, the metallic rains would de-
scend in perfect sheets, forming near
ly continuous liquor envelope.
