rub it all over on both sides with hot glue,
and roll it on the roller; roll IL lightly and
rub the glue well in, to the under one, 80 that
when dry it will form mass OF paper anu
glue. Put on enough paper to form cas-.
ing quarter of an inch thick, When you
have done papering set the whole on one
side to get quite dry and hard.
While this is drying. we. can be making
the eye-piece and stand. For the eye-piece
we shall want a piece of brass tube four in
ches long and large enough for the largest OIL
the two lenses that form the eye-piece 10 go
inside: that will be little more than an men
in diameter inside. Get your lenses before
getting the tube
Now for the lenses. Go to an opticians
and ask for two-inch simple oblect-gasss,
forty inches focus. For the eyepece, ask
for two plano-convex lenses-one of one'lneh
focus, the other of two-inch focus The OBJ
ject-vlass is to be double convex.
Having got your lenses, we will fix them
in the brass tube. Cut a piece OF cardboard
three-uuarters of an inch wide, and long
enough to 20 all round inside the tube tight
ly and not to lap. Push this in to form a
the thickness. This shelf is to be about two
inches from the end Turn the other end OF
the tube up and drop the larger of the two
lenses-which is called the field lens--on to the
shelf with the rounded side downward; PUSH
in on the top of it another cardboard lining
ing quite down on to the fat side of the
lens to keep it firm. On to the shelf form,
ed by this lining place disk of cardboard
the size of the inside of the tube, and with
a hole cut in the centre half an inch IN dia-
meter On to this disk push in cardboard
lining one inch wide to keep all firm. Then
cut two disks of cardboard, one the exact
size of the inside of the tube, with hole
in the centre a trife smaller in diameter than
the small lens, which is called the eye-lens;

plate Qike Fig. ~. This is to fit tightly OF the
end of the tube over the eye-lens, and is to
have hole in the centre of the top three
eighths Of an inch in diameter.
The eye-piece is now finished, and we will
get on with the stand.
Get two circular pieces Of beech FIVE inch
es in diameter and one and a half inches
thick, each to have hole bored in the centre
an inch in diameter, and going right through
the wood. Take one of these pieces, and on
the under side fasten, by three strong brass
hinges that work stifdly.. three legs, made of
inch and half square pine Gig. 81. These
legs are to be four feet six inches long.
Take the other piece Of beech and fasten
rod or roller of wood, two feet and half
long and one inch in diameter, into the hole,
so that one end is flush with the top side OF
the wood Gig. 81. Now fasten two uprights
to the top, letting them into the wood Gig.
g. These are to be threequarters of an inch
thick, and four and half inches high and are
to be three and half inches apart.
Bore hole in each upright about half an
inch from the top and about one-quarter of
an inch in. diameter. Get nine screw stair
| eyes and about seven feet of brass wire
| (straightened) one-eighth of an inch thick.
Into the inside of each leg and one foot from
the top, screw one of the brass stair-screws.
Now get piece of wood, circular. three inches

Before drawing out the roller, cut, with a
sharp knife, the ends off quite square. leay-
ing the tube-thirty-seyen and a half inches
long. Draw out the roller without break
ing the tube. We must now fix the object
glass. Cut strip of cardboard half an inch
wide. and long enough to go all round INSIDE
the tube without tapping, and to fit tightly:
Push this inside, so that it will form shell
half an inch inside the end of the tube. Glue
glass and fix it there by gluing strip OF card
board all round inside the tube on the, top
of the lens To fix the eye-piece, cut from
the roller used to make the tube on q piece
one inch long, and bore hole right through
the centre of it the exact size of the eye-plece
tube. Glue this block in the other end OF the
tube. -,
Push the brass tube in this hole, with the
field-lens inward. The telescope can be TO-
cused by pushing in or drawing out the brass
tube. Get piece of deal eight inches long
and three and a half inches wide and two
inches deep. Cut groove along the top, as
Fig Z, one inch deep and little more than
two and quarter inches wide, to fit the out
side Of the tube Glue this block on the tube,
so that one end is thirteen inches from the
front end of the tube (the eye-piece end).

than the brass wire. Cut your wire into two
lengths Of eighteen and a half inches, and take
them to the tinmau, and get him TO cut q
screw-thread nearly the whole length OF eacn,
leaving about two inches to each. AT tnis
end OF each get him to turn ring, and TO close
these two rings into one Of the screw-eyes'
Get him also to make q screw nut Tor eacn
wire about the size of q farthing, but ABOUT
twice the thickness Screw the eye carrying
these wires through the tube into the eye
piece block screw; the remaining two screw
eyes into two of the legs Of the stand, en- tine
outside of each leg and about one foot from
the top of each. Bend the cut part, oil the
brass plates into rings and close them IN
these screw-eyes.
Now put the screw.nuts in their places IN
the brass plates, and put the screw wires
through the holes in the top, and turn the
nuts to the left, which will draw down the
wires and with them the eye-piece of the
telescope. To turn the telescope to the lett,
turn the right hand nut to the right and the
other to the left; and TO turn it to the right,
reverse the action of the nuts.
In making this telescope you must be very
careful in fixing the lenses. They are to be
very careful in fixing the lenses. They are to
be placed so that the centres are to be in one
straight line, which line is to be at right
angles to the lenses. You can cover your
tube with colored paper to give it finish.
1t will be advantageous, in using the instru-
ment, by keeping out all light not wanted, to
make cardboard tube about six inches long
and large enough to slide easily on the end
over. the object-glass and to project about
i've inches. The telescope is now finished, and
