THE conclusion was reached by the late Prof. Poynting (Phil. Trans., 1903) that the radiation from a material body in space gives rise to a small retarding force, which acts cumulatively as a brake on its movement through the æther and the consequence was deduced, the significance of which has not yet been exhausted, that the sun's radiation, acting in concert with its gravitation, operates to keep the solar system swept clear of fine cosmical dust. The system may travel through nebulous clouds, but no such clouds can permanently belong to it.
