Second-Whence is their source1
Third-If light proceeds from the sun, and Is
the direct cause of heat that is diffused through
the atmosphere, why Is an elevated position
colder than one near sea levell
Fourth-The atmosphere that surrounds the
earth is supposed to be about forty five miles
deep. Now, if light and heat proceed from til o
sun. in what condition they as they travel
through spaced At a height of five miles we find
perpetual cold, and it increases as We ascend.
Fifth-Can the consist OF molten mass
OF heat that emits light. and they become so in
tensely cold as they travel through spaced
Sixth-Is not the sun more probably con-
centrated mass of electricity, emitting electric
fluids through space quietly and effectually as
it is cendu ted along the wire from battery to
the magnet of common electric lamp, aud
when it reaches the limit of our atmosphere
may il not emit light and heat precisely on the
