VENICE BOMB
RAIDS VERY
DESTRUCTIVE
According to an Associated
Press Correspondent Vino
Observes the Ruins.

VENICE, Italy, Dec. 2O.-An OPP
portunity to see the destructive effect
of the bomb raids on Venice was
given today to the Associated Press,
when an inspection under ofiicia.
escort was made of the havoc and
ruin in the famous old church of the
Scalzi, one of the art monuments
of the world, now a wreck with its
roof blown OFF. its massive wGlln
tottering, and the famous ceiling
fresco by Tiepolo, valued at mil
lion francs, lying in heaps OF rub
bish in the ruins OF the building.
There have been three bomb raids
on Venice. but this was the worst,
and the historic church bore the
full brunt of 1t.
Approaching the massive edifice
one sees a gaping hole in the roof,
extending from front to rear. The
facade, fronting the Grand canal is
intact. and three sculptured figures
stnding along the cornice remain un-
touched. But back of the figures the
roof says away in a curved line
downward and then up again to the
rear wall, as though some giant hand
had reached down and torn out tho
whole top of the church. leaving only
the front and the rickety side walls
still intact. Workmen can be seen
high above beginning the work OF sal
wage and repair, and heavy timbers
are being laced across the gaping
hole left by the bomb.
Havoc and Ruin.
Entering the historic church a
scene Of havoc and ruin is presented
twisted beams and arches, panels
and columns OF albaster crushed into
bits and lying around in heaps, the
richly carved pulpit blown to pieces
with only faint outline of its former
wonders remaining. and above the
roof wide open to the sky, with the
wonderful frescos of Tiepolo dump
ed in huge masses OF debris on the
stone pavement. Faint edges of the
grand old frescos still cling to the
side walls, giving some idea of the

beauties of the work torn away. Six
enormous arches spanned the edifice
meeting In the middle, and giving an
intervening space for these frescos.
Not vestige remains of the main
subjects, the visit OF the Virgin TO
Lorreto, containing hundreds of Bibli-
cal and categorical figures, the rag
ged edges showing only cloud eff
fects and the background with few
figures. The high altar with spiral
alabaster columns and rich decora-
tions, Is not touched, and another
curious feature is that the electric
candles circling the church are I'M

as brightly as ever. But with these

red. This was the busy hour, when
the gondolas were crowding the
Gran canal, and the Venetians were
shopping and marketing. Suddenly
a single monoplane was seen in the
northern sky, coming from the direc-
ton OF the Austrian frontier. 1t was
flying very high-about $500 me-
tiers. People at first did not re-
cognize this speck as an enemy bent
on destruction, Soon, however, the
steam syren at the arsenal gave a
long wail-the signal OF warming
and the people scattered to cellars
and any available cover. The aero
plane was now in full view, heading
straight for the big railway station OF
Venice, the center OF a network Of
railway connections. Just above the
station the aeroplane began to circle
round and round. Clearly It was go
ing to bomb the station. But at
$500 meters height the aim ia not
good. and besides there was mist
adding to the difficulties of sure
shot. Down came the bomb-people
could see 1t fall-but instead of the
station 1t struck square on top of
the famous old church. 1t did not
explode Immediately as 1t struck the
roof. Instead. 1t made a. clean hole
through the roof. and then, shooting
downwards. exploded Just above and

Internal ExplosiOn

This internal explosion Is what
caused the terrible destruction, as
besides the flying fragments of the
bomb and its shrapnel contents, the
sudden expansion of air in the con-
fined interior of the church literally
lifted the roof from the supporting
walls and blew 1t skyward. One side
of the roof was bent over to the
right, the other to the left, beams
and arches crashing upward and
and over. while masses OF debris set
tied down between the walls. The
frescoed ceiling had disappeared In
an instant. Particles OF the bomb
dug deep into the alabaster eacing
the walls. cracking and wrenching the
marble pillars and side walls from
floor to roof. Even the wrenching

was torn up in chunks. One huge
slab Of the floor covered the tomb
OF some of the famous Yenetlans OF
olden days. and this was wrenched
out exposing the tomb below. The
explosion occurred when the church
Was deserted SO that no loss of life
resulted.
To the art world the damage to
the famous old church is an irrepar-
able loss. Everywhere 1t was known
as the type of the Venetian baro-
que style, and next to the church
OF Santa Maria was the best example
or this style in the world. The
fresco by Tiepolo, covering the en-
time ceiling, was OF course, the great
est loss. as next to Titan. Tintoretto

age.
Besides the destruction Of the
soalzi church, the chief effect of
the bomb raids has been near the
arsenal. It Is clear that the chief
purpose OF the raids is to reach the
arsenal and the railway station, the
former being the chief defensive work
of Venice with large stores of am
munition. while the railway station

Loose Smut.
The other wheat smut occurring In
this country, known commonly az
loose smut, is not so serious as bunt
although it probably produces an ay.
erage loss OF three-fourths OF one Der
cent OF the total wheat crop of the
country. Loose smut may be prevent
ed by treating the seed by the Jensen
hot-water method or some modification
of it,
The Jensen method consists in soax-
ing the seed for ten to fifteen minutes
in hot water at temperature of 1872
to 1873 degrees, Fahrenheit. It is high.
ly important that tho water shall not
rise over 1876 degrees or fall below 1870
degrees, Fahrenheit. A temperature
below this will not kill the smut, while
a temperature too high may affect
the termination Of the seed. The grain
after treatment should be Immediate
ly spread out to dry. II it cannot be-
spread at once it should be dipped into
cold water to cool at once, and spread
