of the cross country course and a de
scription of the roads be bent to each

LB. ACCIDENT NOT SERIOUS
Chemistry Student Slightly Burned by
Explosion, But Not Seriously
Injured.
t accident occurred in the Chemis
try laboiatorv Saturda morning which
wap at first thought to be serious, but
is now known to bo of minor conse
quence. J. C Thompson was tho vic
tim, and the accident occurred when
he mixed too great quantities of sul
phuric acid and potassium chlorate.
Tho proportion that ho used slightly
strnined the laws of nature, and as
'a result there was an explosion, and
bits of glass were strewn through the
atmosphere, mixed with the contents
of the test-tube.
At first it was thought that Thomp
son's eyeB had been injured by the
acid, but a later investigation revealed
the assuring fact that no harm had
been done. Thompson is a freshman
in the six-year medical course, coming
to tho University from Sutton, Neb.
