But it is impossible to distinguish a straight from a curved line, whether practically or theoretically, except by reference to some statical or dynamical (including optical) experiment. So that they, too, in the last analysis, are physical not purely geometrical properties. Topical characters of places are such as, being in no wise metrical or graphical, consist entirely in such relations of betweenness among the parts of a place as will remain
