DR.. Ludwig II. Fredburg, an instructor
In chemistry in The College Of the City Of
New York, met with an accident 10 the

would have cost him his eyesght II he had
! not been wearing glasses. Dr. FTiedbuTg
was experimenting with nitro-oinnamic

pieces into his face.
There we're only fifteen grains OF the
drainage or SCUM from the nltro-cinnamio
acid in the tube. II covered a space in the
bottom Of the tube hardly as large as little
finger nail DR.. Friedburg held the mouth
OF the tube away from him and the bottom
about three inches above the naphtha
burner.
For a long time he has wondered what
properties this SCUM or drainage from
nitro-cinnamio acid had and yesterday
while he was alone in the laboratory and
likely 10 be free from disturbance he de-
cided he would try to find out. Nitro
cinnamic acid il a combination Of the two
acids after which il Is named. The combi-
nation Is an acid related TO indigo. In the
SCUM or residue left by the combination
DR.. Friedburg is satisfied that he has found
a new and very powerful explosive.
He was stunned for a moment when the
minute quantity blew up and then he opened
the laboratory door and called for help.
Michael Boney, the janitor, found him
standing in the doorway bleeding from
many small cuts on his face.
Boney telephoned for an ambulance
and then for DR.. f. W. Dittrich Of 23O Fast
Twcnty-third street, who got there first.
Dr. Dittrich dug out the glass from the
chemists face and hands and DR.. FTiedburg
went 10 his home Of 500 West lI1th street.
He said last night
1T may be that this little mlshap to-day
will lead to something important to chemists.

DR.. Friedburg has been an instructor 10
chemistry at the College Of the City OF

said that he began the study Of chemistry
when he was years old and had
been at it for fifty years and that yester-
