Ingenious Provo Youth Builds Own Telescope A telescope power- 1 enough tc show clearly the craters on the moon, shown left, was constructed by John Cook, 17, who is standing picturec by his his home-made instrument.

Material for the telescope was mostly salvaged from junk yards and old automobiles. fc By J. K. PAULSON John' Cook, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

Carl Cook, 165 South Fifth west street, found material in junk yards, on old A thorough insight into the devious laws of optics, physics and mechanics was necessary for John to build his astronomical celestial telescope, to say nothing automobiles, flashlights and a ()f the mKenu ty displayed in furniture shop with which to build a telescope powerful enough to reveal clearly the craters on the moon. An examination of the instrument which John has built, lens and all, for a cost enough to convince of $15. is one that genius burns brightly within this youth who was graduated last spring from the Provo high school and who will matriculate at the Brigham Young university when The bark of the giant Sequoia is schoo startg tbjs year almost as resistant to fire as asbestos. Studied Optics fashioning it virtually from junk. Many hours of toil and painstaking calculations were necessary to make the lens.

First it had to be ground to the proper concavity. This required five hours of work'. Then Another 36 hours were needed for polishing the lens, getting it to the exact shape, indicated by the Focault test. A cardboard tube once used to wrap a rug, comprises the body the telescope. Part of a Ford steering gear, a tricycle part, or- dinarv weighted with lead casting, a Ford hub cap, a ng stick cap and many other terns picked up in junk heaps have been utilized and made to fit harmoniously into the telescope.

Unique John started his instrument ast October and has had all but the lens finished for several months. He silvered the reflector 10 times before the job suited him. An intricate system of eight wires holding the reflector, adjustable four ways, is one of the nost interesting items on the instrument. It was entirely planned by John. Tables fixed to the mount- ng make it possible to calculate the exact time a star will go down, among other things.

In the daytime the house on Tim- panogos peak looms large in the "As long as I can remember" says John, "I have been making things." Among the devices he has built are two miniature crystal radio sets, one of them smaller than a match box, and a diving outfit. This diving outfit is furnished with air by a system of three automobile pumps. It was made several years ago. The mirror alone, on a telescope such as John made, would cost $60 and up. Yet by combining persistence with a natural aptitude he has constructed the entire instrument for $15.
