Mow comes the beautiful point. If we take A B as 1, being one side of tlie square on which the lozenge is founded, A E and A G will be equal to the square of 2, and E F, F G, and B E will be equal to the square of 3, as can be seen at a glance by any one who has advanced as far as the 47th proposition of the first book of Euclid. Perhaps some of my readers may say that all these figures may be very true, but that they do not show how the cell is formed. If the reader will refer to Fig. 3, he will see how the theory.
