THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY
IStp.embtr-one Of the most valuable ar
ticles in this number is N, simonin's pa
per in the Rcrus des Derr lon1S on the
'Industrial Applications OF Solar Heat"
translated by Mr.. j.. Fitzgerald. After
describing the experiments Of NJ. Mou.
chot, Mr.. Eriessan, and others, with
their results, the writer presents some
general views in regard to the mechanical
powers Of the sun, which il not altogether
novel, are stated with great precision and
force. In future by no means. very dis
tant, he afEirms there will exist no other
fuel than the sun. no other engines than
those driven by solar heat by that time
no doubt the means OF storing up this
heat will have been discovered, for in our
ATTITUDES 1t will be necessary TO make
provisions against cloudy days aud sea.
sons Of rain, which constitute 80 large q
portion OF the year. The assertion that.
The sun is one day 10 take the place Of tie
coal mines, N. Simonin admits, has the
air Of a paradox. But, in our day, when
force, motion, gravity, heat, light, eiec;
tricity and magnetism, are regarded
As forms Of one and the same
agent, the statement that the sun
Is the only fuel, the only force, should
not be met with incredulity. All fuels, all
forces, in fact, are only parts OF the suns
heat. Coal Is only fossil carbon. But
this carbon was fixed in plants by the
SIMS heat, Of which It is the equivalent.
Hence, no sun, no vegetation; no vegeta-
ton. no carbon; no carbon; no coal.
Coal, in burning, gives up the solar
heat which was stored in il, and hence,
as has been said: "ILs not the coal that
drives the locomotive; Il il the suns heat
stored up in the coal, thousands OF ages
ago; locomotives are but the hoEssS Of the
