draws its heal We must first picture it's
actual condition. Matter there is in a state
unlike anything ever seen upon earth. 1t
Is neither solid nor liquid nor in any
familiar sense gaseous. The sun Is a
boiling, seething, flaming mixture Of
the gases or vapors Of all the elements
condensed by the tremendous squeeze Of
solar gravity until 1t is thicker than
pitch, and so hot that its vaporized iron
might be used for steam power ii there
were any boiler fit to hold it. 1t has no
definite surface, but shades away from
this incandescent red hydrogen to the
faint streamers Of the corona, as flmy
as a comets tail.
This writhing mass, heavier on the
average than water and yet as unstable
as air. does not even rotate like other
Orbs, but sWirls around it's axis.
In the terrific tension of these gases
Is stored up the energy of the sun. AS
this escapes in gushes of heat they do
not cool. but slowly contract: it Is quite
possible that they even grow hotter as
they thus settle downward and compress
themselves into a denser fluid.
A total shrinkage Of 220 feet a year
will account for the whole expenditure,
and SO small a change in the size of the
disk could not be detected until it had
been watched for thousands Of years.
This will go on until the substance Of the
sun ceases to be essentially gaseous. Then
will come the beginning Of the end, for
from that time forth the actual temper
ature of the sun will decline.
But no grandchildren of ours will see
that waning day. Calculations quite as
trustworthy as those of Mr.. Barkendal
assur us that our race will enjoy un-
diminished sunshine for at least 5000
years. mi perhaps for twice 5000.
Then, while the sur slowly reddens
and darkens. our earth will de-. After
that comes the night of ages.
