NT. Petersburg, November 9.-spe-
 cial.)-Cynics in Russia are split
 ting their sides over the farcical outcome of the latest enterprise of that amazing character. General E. V. B.v For cynics, the world over, love the great to get fall. and "E " B." as he always is called, is a greater man far than Little Nikolai Nikolaievitch, or even than the Czars pet priest, For TO years "E. V. B." has helped to run Russia, and after all the comedies and tragedies of 70 years he's as rough and as tough as ever.
 ''s. V. B." is General -of- Infantry Eugene V. Bogdanoyitch. editor of "The Pulpit of St Isaac's Cathedral" founder of the Blue Cross society or "Goluboi Khrest," and chief unofficial organizer of Russian loyalty In the 20 years before the 1905 revolution he was given states subsidies of s950.o00 for his pious work. It Is he who runs on behalf of Little Nicholas the clerical, autocratist, dHtl-loTSiSnt anLl-llDefal, JuuOphOhe agitation, and he runs it with the zeal and energy of twenty. It consists in distributing millions of incendiary "re- ligious" leaflets among soldiers, sail ors tailors, candlestick makers and H4uzhiks; and these leaflets are fill Of appeals to save us from the Jews and to restore the autocracy of the Ortho- dox czar. who is guardian of the only God.
 Bogdanoyitch is Russias most hospitable man. He entertains even the foreigners he detests. Whenever he meets an Ameri- car, Briton, Turk or Chinaman, he in- vites him to lunch; and feeds and vodkas him with q dozen other guests. When all are merry with vodka and ''nastoki." the general pushes his yellow hand through his hair. and starts a political controversy. The old man does all the talking; and fDakes severe criticisms of Americans, Eritons, Turks and Chinamen. The guests get red. Before luncheon is over Bog- danovitch dashes his wine glass furiously to earth, and roars at his favorite guest {: "And how dare you, sir, an American come to Russia? The Americans helped the Japanese in 1904. Americans made our accursed revolution.' And then turns to an honored guest from Munich and bawls rrhe Germans are our enemies. They

 Everything went swimmingly. Bogdan- oviteh paid the police s14,000 for expenses; and the police employed an ex-member named Iukashkin to organize the peni- tents.

BURSTING STEAM PIPE KILLS.
Engineer Peter Kitchens Instantly
Killed at Gaflncy.

Gaffney, Feb. 22.-Probably the
most horrible accident in the history
Of Gaffney occurred this morning
about o'clock, in the engine room
Of the Gaffney Manufacturing Com
pany's mill, when Peter Kitchens, en-
gineer OF the mill, was Instantly kill
ed by the explosion Of six-inch
steam pipe. The man was literally
roasted, aside from sustaining some
terrible blows In different parts Of
the body A piece Of pipe struck
him in the face and fearful wound
was also sustained in the head. 1t is
presumed that he was killed instant
ly. There were no eye witnesses to
the tragedy, tho watchman having
stepped from the room just an in
slant before the explosion. 1t Is
said that Kitchens had come on aHt,
shortly before c O'Clock, preparatory
To the opening or the mil At Gao.
II was two minutes past nix by lhp
engine room clock when the pipe
burst. The engine room was almost
wrecked by the explosion. Windows
were torn out and thrown for some
distance, one going across the mill
yard and stopping on the railroad
track. A section OF the pipe flew
through window, doing consldcra-
bic damage, while posts and supports
in the engine room were bent and
twisted, some being knocked from
their places.
Kitchens body was found in
pool Of blood about six feet from the
engine. The bursting Of tho pipe
was accompanied by loud explo-
sion and the Waterman rushed to the
scene, finding Kitchens already dead.
The pipe was the main steam pipe
OF what Is known as "the old mill"
and carried tremendous amount Of
steam, but 1t was impossible to as
certain just how much steam was up
at the time OF the pipe bursting.
Following tho accident the body Of
the dead man was taken to under
taking parlors, where an inquest was
held by the coroner. No evidence
could be found that anything but ma
tural causes had caused the death,
and a verdict was rendered by the
jury to this effect.

THE COB rot DISEASE OF CORN

A new disease. known as cob-rot,
has recently made it's appearance in
the cornfields of Ohio and the neigh
boring states. The spread of the
disease has been SO rapid and so
alarming as to cause the state
emergency board of Ohio to set aside
$4,000 for immediate use in studying
the life history Of the fungus and de-
vising means for it's control.
AS the spores of this disease de-
velop they send minute threads out
through the cob and grains. These
threads dissolve out the substances
THAT cement the parts Of the cob to-
gether so that in the advanced
stages of the disease the cob splits
lengthwise and then easily falls
apart. into narrow strips. The infec-
tion is also indicated by the pres
ence Of tuft of fibers projected
from the end of the cob at the point
of attachment of the shank.
Although the life history of the
disease has not been worked out. it
seems quite certain that the spores
live over IN the stalk and the ears
and probably in the soil.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1912-03-21

Reports from the different sections
of the state indicate that the feeding
of the corn affected with cob-rot
causes serious disturbances in the di.
gestive tract of the animals. A mum.
ber of deaths among horses has been
attributed to the feeding of diseased
corn and in few cases the sickness
among cattle has resulted fatally.
In view of the serious aspect of
the disease at the present time, it
would seem wise for the corn grow
ers of the state to take some precau.
tions for the coming season. Until
more definite information is avail
able the following is suggested:
/. Examine all seed ears care.
fully and discard all those that are
infected.
2. Rake and burn all stalks in the
infected fields.
3. Avoid as far as possible the
planting of corn this year in fields
that grew corn last year.
4. Use the manure containing in
fected cobs or stalks on some other
crop than corn. A. G. MCCALL.
