SOLAR ENERGY.
Its Constant Radiation Is Lessenine
the Mass of Our Sun.

The work of Einstein on the principle
of relatively shows that a body which
radiates energy loses II portion of its
mass depending on the energy radiat-
ed. 1t follows that the sun, which
continually radiates energy, is con
stantly losing mass. NJ j. Bosler has
calculated that the sun loses a mass
equal to that of our earth in 30,000,00o
years.
If it be assumed that the mass thus
lost is gravitational mass it follows
that the length of the year increases
by six seconds in 100000 years and
that in the same time the mean longi-
tude of the earth is affected in such
way as to produce a variation of one
tenth of year-that is, retardatiop
of thirty-six days in the seasons.
Such variations are too minute to
be observable. In stellar systems pos
sessing a higher temperature the ef-
feet would be much more Marked for
the energy radiated by body varies
as the fourth power of it's absolute
temperature.
