According to 1nnes, who discusses
the subject in ''Transvaal Observa-

to the occurrence of some absorbing
medium, interposed between us and
distant parts of the universe.
Stars in the neighborhood Of the
dark region are enveloped in nebula;
while just on the border Of it there is
a star which has been observed to
fluctuate in magnitude between ITO
and 1872, and which was invisible
during the years 1899-1901.
The latter fact is accounted for on
the superstition that the absorbing me-
