Shanghai, Juno 21.
A terrific explosion oc- curred this morning in the cellar of the Public Health Laboratories in the Chinese City, as the result of which a Chinese member of the staff was killed.
The explosion, which WILK followed by a serious fire, is be- lieved to have been caused by the ignition of a large quantity jof ether, due to the carelessness jof-a youthful electrician.
The most serious result of the mishap, however, lies in the de- atruction of a large quantity of anti-epidemie vaccines.
