Abstract
SOLAR radiation is a subject which has more than scientific interest. It is the source of all the energy which maintains the economy of our globe. It lights and heats the other members of the planetary system. But, after accomplishing this, only an infinitesimal proportion of the total radiation has been used. The remainder, in so far as we know, is wasted by uninterrupted dissipation into space.
