Shanghai, June 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 ataff was killed.

The explosion. which Was followed by a serious fire, is be- · lieved to have been caused by the ignition of a large quantity

of ether, due to the carelessness

of a youthful electrician.

The most serious result of the mishap, however, lies in the de- struction of a large quantity of anti-epidemic vaccines.

According to extimates Issued by offieinis of the Laboratories, over six thousand bottles of anti-cholera vaccine and several thousand bottles of small-pox vaccine were destroyed.

The Fire Brigade of the Shan- hai Municipal Council was rushed to the Chinese City and aided in putting out the fire which will cause the laboratories to be shut up for a few weeks before work Jean be rosumed.-Pruter.
