In this paper it is shown, that by the sun's heat there is an emission of mechanical energy from the solar system, amounting in about 100 years to as much as the whole energy of the motions of all the planets. The principal object of the paper is to investigate the source from which this vast development of energy is drawn. It is argued, that either a store of primitive heat must be drawn upon, or heat must be generated by chemical action (combustion), or heat must be generated by other forces than those of chemical action, that is, by forces of moving masses. Any store of primitive heat that can be drawn upon in solar radiation, must be entirely within the sun.
