Some of the results arising from the sun's being
a hollow sphere 215
Repetition of the effects of condensation on the
temperature of the nebula 216
Ideas called up by the apparently anomalous increase
of temperature 217
How heat is carried from the sun to the earth 218
The sun supposed to radiate heat only to bodies that can
receive and hold it, and not to all space. The heat
of the sun accumulated in a hot box to considerably
beyond the boiling point of water 219
The heat accumulated in this way supposed to be due to a
peculiar function of the ether, as it is a fact that
heat can be radiated from a cold to a hot body 220
The sun must be gaseous, or rather gasiform, throughout.
No matter in it solid or even liquid. Divisions and
densities of shell 221
The hollow centre filled with gases, whose mass naturally
diminishes the mean density of the whole body 222
The amount of this reduction so far defined. The presence
of gases or vapours in the hollow a natural result
of condensation 223
The hollow centre filled with gases not incompatible with
the sun's being a hollow sphere. The temperature at
the centre may be anything, not depending on any
law of gases 223
Further exposition of hollow-sphere theory put off till after
further development of the construction of the sun 224
