NEW LAMPS FOR OLD.

means "some x and y," i.e. "some new are nice."

I think you will see without further explanation, that

                      -----------
                     |     |     |
                     |     |  1  |
                     |     |     |
                      -----------

means "some x are y'," i.e. "some new are not-nice."

Now let us put a GREY counter into No. 5, and ask ourselves the meaning of

                      -----------
                     |     |     |
                     |  0  |     |
                     |     |     |
                      -----------

This tells us that the x y-compartment is EMPTY, which we may express by "no x are y", or, "no new Cakes are nice". This is the second of the three Propositions at the head of this Section.

In the same way,

                      -----------
                     |     |     |
                     |     |  0  |
                     |     |     |
                      -----------

would mean "no x are y'," or, "no new Cakes are not-nice."
