Must work Before Daylight.

That life is not all bed of roses
for the college professor, is a fact
that is being experienced by Prof. e.
F. Nichols. of the physics depart
ment of Columbia University. Every
morning, promptly at $50, DR.. Mich
OILS tumbles from his comfortable bed
and wends his way to Fayerweather
Hall, where he works in his labora-
tory from 2 until A. M.
The professor is not taking an out
door tuberculosis cure, nor is he
seeking to perpetuate health, youth
and beauty. The truth is, that Prof.
Nichols is perfecting a new type of
galvanometer. It is for this that he
seeks his laboratory every morning.
DR.. Nichols has found that dur
ing the day he is unable to expert
ment with his delicate apparatus be-
cause of the vast amount of electro
cal activity surging about his labora-
tory.
Hence, it is that, with the eager
ness of the sportsman who seeks his
game at the first streak of dawn,
the professor rises at this mystical
hour and steals cautiously on his
labratory in the hope of surprising
and capturing some wild, elusive
secret of science. -New York Her

an unusual experience on the street,
her large merry widow hat catch-

He called to the young lady, who
quickly pulled of the burning hat

Miss Richardson said that the hat

Assailant Turned on Men
Who Started the
Row.

Boston, June 15.-IWhile an infuriat-
id mob Of 500 men and boys fought to
gain possession Of Gaetona Natal, an
Italian, to wreak their vengeance on
lin after he had shot down three men
on Maverick street, East Boston, Sat
urday night, Patrolmen 0'Neil and Me-
kenna, battered and bruised, held the
angry crowd at bay until the arrival
Of the patrol wagon with reserves.
Natal had shot down John 0'Keefe,
~ years, Of Brement street; William
Begley, 10, Of 143 Webster street, and
Thomas Trainer. 20, Of 1913 Chelsea
street, East Boston.
All three young men are now at
the Relief hospital on the dangerous
list. At an early hour O'ISeefe and
Begley were not expected 10 survive
the day.
The three victims were standing on
Maverick street, near Maverick square,
about 1880 O'Clock, when Natal ap-
peared on the scene, and without any
preliminary warning, whipped out 4
revolver and fired five shots at the
Young men, three taking effect.
Trainer was the first TO fan with 4
bullet IN his abdomen With a cry, he
sank to the sidewalk Before his com
pamions could move, the Italian turned
bis revolver on them.
Begley was the next to fall, with a
bullet piercing his chest. The other vic-
tim, O'keefe, started to run, when
Natal, with lnerring aim, fired anoth-
81 shot, which struck 0'Keefe in the
lack and came ont at his chest.
Not satisfied with the scene of car
nage which lay around him, Natal fired
The two remaining shots att some pedes-
TRANS, who rushed toward the scene.
When he had emptied his gun the
crazed Italian rushed up Maverick
street, followed BY an Infatuated mob,
which cried; Lynch hint Lynch himl
