The Sun MADE OF METAL.-In recent ar
ucle in The Nineteenth Century, by MrJ.
Norman Lockyer, the writer very strongly OBJ
Iects to DR.. Diapers discovery of oxygen i'm
the sun. Mr.. Lockyer says he has gone care
1ully over the whole ground, and finds IN that
tie photograph on which DIR. Draper bases the
an important question; % that he does not
ind the condolences between bright solar
lines and oxygen lines in the part of the spac.
q um with which he is most familiar and 81
that comparing DR.. Diapers photograph with
the fine photograph OF the spectrum obtained
by MI. Rutherford, he falls to find any true
bright line in the sun whatever cOincident
with any line OF oxygen whatever" Mr. Lock-
yer sums up the evidence as to the suns com
position in these words: $50 far as our uu-
contested knowledge goes, the sun is chiefly
mace OF metal, and on this account is strangs-
ly different from the crust of our earth, In
which the metals are in a large minority"
