A Shooting Experiment.

Lawrence, Kan, May 12.-When
Prof. F. C. Dockeray, in the psyche
logical department of the University
of Kansas, got into an alteration
last night with the janitor, who en-
tered the class room and insisted on
sweeping while Dockeray was lectur-
ing, a number of the students came
to his rescue.
The affair grew into a free-for-all
fight. during which the janitor, VINO
had drawn a revolver, was overpow-
cred and disarmed. AS a burly stu
dent grasped the weapon shot was
fired.
AS soon as order was somewhat re-
scored and the frightened and flee
inging students reassembled, ac
counts were taken from them of the
affair. All the students swore they
heard the shot and several told oi
seeing the smoke from the revolver
Then Professor Dockeray told tina
it was an experiment; a fight hao
been planned carefully and the sho
of the revolver was from the outside
of the building by student posted
there. The purpose of the expert
ment was to show the unreliability o
information even when furnished b!
an eyewitness.

Found Comets With Home-Made
Glass.


In the Interesting People" de-
partment of the May American Mag
azine appears an article about John
Mellish, a Wisconsin farmer boy
who has made several beautiful tele-
scopes single handed and discovered
two new comets in one year. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the article:
in the darkroom of the great
Yerkes observatory, one Monday
morning, Professor E. E. Barnard
was developing some plates of the
heavens that he had exposed on the
previous Saturday night. AS the
sensitive coating of the plates grew
dusky under the action of the de-
veloper, he held the glass to the light
and scanned it critically. A haZy
patch of light caught his eye. Here
was something unexpected. He
knew at once that it must be COM
ct. Impatiently he completed the
developing and fixing; then hast
ened upstairs to telegraph his find to
Harvard observatory. If his tele-
gram reached that clearinghouse OF
astronomical news ahead of any
other, he would receive the credi
for the discovery and the come
would thencefortn be known a
'Barnard's comet But a great dis
appointment awaited him. There ol
his desk lay a telegram from Har
ward, announcing that comet ha
been found by Mellish in such an
such position, giving the identica
astronomical latitude and longitud
of the object he himself had dii
covered.
> but 'Mellish?' Who was Me
lish?'
"Only twenty miles away he live'
on a farm at Cottage Grove, Wis
"a mere boy, with a telescope bui
l. by his own hands; but he had MAJ
aged to get ahead of the renowne
/. professor with the finest astronon
ical equipment in the world. Q
the very same night that the COM
made its imprint on the photograph
plate young Meliish discovered
with his crude instrument and rus
= ed to his friend, Professor G.
Comstock, OF the Washburn obser
atory, Madison, Wis, who confirme
the discovery and telegraphed Il
news to Harvard. Thus young Me
lish won the race and leaped in
fame, while Professor Barnard Ii
gered to observe the day of rest.
Before the year was up Melli'
located another comet. Two bron
medals came to him from the Astr
nomical Society of the Pacific, whi
the Astronomical Society of Mexi
r awarded him gold medal for 4
