SUN.
Hitherto accepted belief that his energies are dying out, [18].
Chemical elements in the sun, [47].
Constitution and structure of the sun, [48], [61].
Prominences, faculæ, sun-spots, chromosphere, photosphere, corona, long streamers, solar nucleus, [48]–56.
Sun-spots travel more rapidly across the solar face in proportion to their distance from his equator, [54], [59].
General Myer on sun’s corona, [56].
Sun-spots described, [56]–59.
Every sun must have planets to enable it to give out light and heat, [66].
Sun-spots and terrestrial electricity and magnetism, [75]–76, [303].
Eleven-year period of sun-spots, [75].
Operative artificial sun; electrical experiment, [86]–87.
Sun’s gaseous or partially gaseous body a self-compensating mechanism to distribute and equalize his energies, [88], [106], [199].
Sun-spots considered with reference to angular positions of the planets, [107], [119]–122, [155]–156.

Repulsion of the tails of comets by solar electrosphere, [211].
Idea of a universal central sun untenable, [241].
Importance to mankind of a correct knowledge of the sun, [251].
THEORY. (See Hypothesis.)
Various previous theories to account for solar heat and light, [19].
1, sun now giving out the heat imparted at its creation, [21].
2, that its volume is being consumed by combustion;
3, that its light and heat consist of currents of electricity;
4, that comets are the aliment of the sun;
5, that the supply is due to accretion by meteoric streams;
6, that it is due to molecular condensation from contraction of the sun’s gaseous body;
7, Dr. Siemens’s theory of disassociation of gases in space by sunlight and heat, centripetal suction at the solar poles, and recombination and centrifugal emission around the sun’s equator, [21]–22.
The above theories separately considered, [23]–38.
Not sufficient, one or all, [39].
All fail, also, to account for the solar hydrogen, [39].
