A school without books: . have been truncated, or cut off, leaving four equilat-eral triangles in their place. Here is the same model in a see what happens when I continue truncating these ; I have a figure now of eight equal angles, or an see this form is a square prism that had started to make anoctahedron of itself, and stopped when it was half done. Now this isa fancy shape, so let us make a fancy box from it, such as confec-tioners use for bonbons; and as it is to hold something so delicateto eat, we must make the box as dainty as possible. The drawing islike that of the square prism in different proportions; and the newfeature of this is the equilateral triangles on the corners. I have leftthe arcs on one corner, so that you can see how it is formed. I firstplaced my compasses exactly in the right-angled corner, and describeda circle with an inch radius; then I connected with straight lines thepoints of intersection that the circle made with the edges or lines[90].
