Extract

This interesting solid has tended too much in the past to be classified as “for adults only” (and for not too many of them); but because it supplies the answer to a question which every intelligent youngster asks himself, I think it is worth while to try and smooth the path of any teacher who wants to let children of (say) 13 share in some of its treasures.
