SOLAR HEAT WAVES.
Ahe SUN and the Hot Stove Pour Out
the Same Kind of Energy.

SO far as know no reasons at all for
doubling the high temperature of the
Ctstral body of the solar system have
ever been found. There are in general
three distinct ways in which heat can
be transferred from one body to an
other-conduction, convection and radi-
alton. The first two are dependent
upon the presence of matter. The lat
ter will take place across a perfect
vacuum.
We may receive heat from stove by
all three methods. If we place our
hands upon it we receive heat by con-
duction; if we hold them above it they
are warmed by convection, the heat be-
ing brought to them by the rising cur
rent Of hot air; if now we stand in front
of the stove we still feel its warmth
the sensation i'll this case being pro-
duced by the heat waves which it
cmitS These waves are similar to the
electric waves used in wireless telegra
ply, differing from them only in their
length. They bear the same relation to
them rs the ripples on Il mill pond bear
to the Atlantic rollers With the in
StrumentS ut our disposal ut the pres
cnt time we can measure the length of
these waves as accurately rs we can
measure the length Of II table with
fOotrule, and we can prove that they
viii pass through Il vacuum, Il plate OF
glass or Il tank full Of liquid air with
out losing their ability to warm our
hands. We find, however, that if we
pass this radiant heat through certain
subStanceS-Water VapOr, for instance
its intensity is diminished owing to
the fact that some of the waves have
been absorbed. 1t is possible to deter
mine the exact length of the waves of
heat which have been removed by alb
sorption in the vapOr and If we test
the radiation which comes to us from
the sun we find that waves of this
same length are absent. the water va
por in the earth's atmosphere having
refused to transmit them. This fact,
taken alone. is pretty good evidence
that the sun and the hot stove are
pouring out the same kind of energy
