The SUMS Energy.

The most satisfactory way of an,

energy ofthe sun is by measuring the
amount of heat which his rays are
capable of generating; and further,
by our knowledge of the relation
which exists between heat and ma
cilanical work, we are able at once I'd
estimate the amount of work which
the sun is capable of doing, and also
the quantity OF energy he must Be
losing year by year. BY suitable ar
rangements we can cause certain
quantity of his radiation to be alb
sorted by water or other substance,
and note the rise of temperature
which results, and as we know the
mechanical equivalent of each degree
of temperature in water, for instance.
