The electric arc in which titanium has been
distilled has temperature of about $500 G.
Making allowance for uncertainty as to pressure
in the solar atmosphere, M. Moissan concludes
that points on the sun where titanium is seen in
the solar spectrum to be volatized must have a
temperature between two estimates of sun-heat
already made-6.59Oo G. and 2,0O0o to 5000 @.
The probability is that the latter is nearer to the
true heat OF the sun than the former. This is
very much lower than early estimates.

surprising application is for army stockings.
