GAS LEAKAGE STOPS WORK

Students working at the Boylston Chemical Laboratory were temporarily interrupted yesterday afternoon when a leakage occurred about 1.30 o'clock in one of the chlorine gas tanks on the second floor. The accident was caused by one of the janitors opening the valve of a tank which was thought to be empty.

Professors J. B. Conant '14. E. D. Kohler and A. B. Lamb, Ph. D. '04, all members of the teaching staff of the chemistry department, afterwards entered the room with gas masks and stopped the flow of gas. The two janitors who were present at the time of the leakage suffered no serious effects.
