found that the disturbance had en-
anated from DR.. r. II. Neelands' Of
flee where a supercharged valcanizer
had exploded, blowing the windows
out of the room where it was located
and creating considerable havoc. DIR.
Neelands had just opened the door
of his laboratory when the explosion
occurred and if he had done so a mo-
ment earlier and had, perhaps, been
engaged in handling the vuicanizer.
the results to himself might have
been very serious.
