says the New York Sun, the atmosphere
of the sun is 5000 miles deep, and is COM
posed of various gases and vapors of met
ais. Then, as observed through the tee-
scope its surface is covered with minute
white forms, apparently floating in an
ecean of grayish fluid, these being clouds
of carbon and il is argued that, just as
the electrician uses carbon for producing
the brightest of artificial lights, so the sun
employs the same agent in the production
of its transcendent light and heat the sun
clouds being, in fact, made up of drops
of liquid carbon which have a radiance
vastly exceeding that of the well-known
glow of the flament in an electric lamp.
In a word, the suns entire surface is as
sumed to be coated with these clouds eV-
cry particle of which is thus intensely lu-
minous.
