distant mountains, which, under certain circumstan¬ 
ces, appear blue, and almost undistinguishable from 
the sky; perhaps their appearance in tiie heavens may 
be comparable to a shadow, or something somewhat 
visible, though transparent; for, the stars being seen 
behind the ring, by means of refraction—a conclusion 
°f transparency or vacancy will be produced iu the 
winds of the observers.
