The present communication contains mainly the discussion of the problem of mass loss by stars of early classes. The investigations show that the loss of mass by the Sun may proceed in different ways. In the atmospheres of O stars different mechanisms of ejection of gases must also exist: thermal dissipation of gases, the ejection of prominences (electromagnetic mechanisms), the ejection of atoms by radiation pressure, the ejection of atoms from active regions which may exist in the atmospheres of O-Stars, a very rapid rotation of stars etc. However our present knowledge on the mechanisms of ejection of gases from the surface of stars of early types is extremely scanty. Therefore it seems that there exists only one way to estimate the rate of mass loss by O-stars. This is the investigation of those effects which can be produced by gases ejected from the star.
