the total figure obtained to be reduced<br />

in size, we should obtain a square of<br />

which the interior was all orange,<br />

which the lines round it were red and<br />

yellow, and merely the points null<br />

colour, as in fig. 80. Thus all the points, lines, and the<br />

area would have a colour.<br />

We can consider this scheme to originate thus:--Let<br />

a small point move in a yellow direction and trace out a<br />

yellow line and end in a null point. <strong>The</strong>n let the whole<br />

line thus traced move in a red direction. <strong>The</strong> null points<br />

at the ends of the line will produced red lines, and end in
