THE DEATH on THE SUN.â€"â€"Muny theories have been propoundcd as to the source of solar light and heat; but whichever we adopt, it is none the less certain that his energy must be gradually,- but surely, dissipated; a fact, I believe, first eXpiiciliy stated by Tomson. If the whole mass bollot, the heat will gradually be radiated into space ; if it. is in- tense combustion in his atmosphere which produces his light and heat, the gaseous materials will some day be exhausted ; iftlie fall of motor- oric masses on his surface keeps it at a while heat. the supply ofthese must in time fail; and on any of these suppositious the sun, ceasing to give full "heat, light, and other natural forces, ceases to support vegetation and animal life on the globe ; and can finally produce, as far as we yet know, the steady rela- tion in their orbitsof the cold and desolate planets.
