The sun and its Envelopes.

What we see Of the sun under ordinary
circumstances is but fraction of his to-
tai bulk. While by far the greater por-
ton Of the solar mass is included within
the photcsphere, the blazing cloud-layer
which seems to form the suns tue sur
face, and is the principal source of his
light and heat, yet the larger portion of
his volume lies without, and constitutes an
atmosphere whose diameter is at least
double, and it's bulk therefore sevenfold
that of the central globe.
Atmosphere, however, is hardly the
proper term for this outer envelope, though
gaseous in the main, is not spherical,
but has an outline exceedingly irregular
and variable. 1t seems to be made up not
of everything strata of different density, but
rather of flames, beams, streamers, as
transient and unstable as those of our own
aurora borealls. 1t is divided into two
portions, separated by boundary as def
mite, though not so regular, as that which
parts them both from the philosophers. The
outer and far more extensive portion, which
in texture and rarity seems to resemble the
tails Of comets, and may almost, without
exaggeration, be lkened to " stuff that
dreams are made off, is known as the
6 coronal atmosphere since to it is chiefly
due the corona" OF glory which surrounds
the darkened sun during an eclipse, and
constitutes the most impressive feature OF
the occasion.
AT its base, and in contact with the
photosphere, is what resembles a sheet
of scarlet fire. The appearance, which
probably indicates fact, is as if count
less jets Of heated gas were issuing
through vents and spiracles over the
whole surface. thus clothing it with fame
which heayes and losses like the blaze
OF copflagration.
This is the "chromosphere" for chro-
matosphere, IL one is fastidious as to the
proper formation Of Greek derivative),
name first proposed by FARMLAND and
Lockyer in 1868, and intended to signify
"color-sphere.n in allusion to the vivid
redress Of the stratum caused by the
predominaace of hydrogene in these flames
and clouds. = Professor C. A. Young, IN
Popular Science Monthly for February.
