THE SULTAN'S SUCCESSOR.
MOhammed Rasheed EHendI. His Brother.
May Ne Set Aside.

To THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN-Sir: Much
has been published regarding the successor
to the sultan OF Turkey In the event OF the
death OF Abdul Hsmid, but the matter
has not been made quite clear. Tho Wall
Aid or heir 10 the throne at the present
time Is the Sultan's brother. MOhammed
Rasheed Enendi, who il two years younger
than the Sultan. This position Of heir pre-
sumptIve he has received on the nomination
Of the Sultan, according to Moslem Law,
which allows a chieftain or ruler to nominate
his successor, subject to the approval Of the
elders.
With the Osmani dynasty II has been the
rule to nominate a brother as heir presump-
tive, but among the Persians and the Az
ghans it has been the custom to nominate Q
son, not necessarily the eldest son. The
position OF Caliph has always been elective,
and consequently 1t Is within the power OF
the present Sultan TO set his brother aside
and nominate either his eldest son. Mohammed

II may be OF interest TO state that the present
Sultan is thirty-seventh In. succession from
Osman or Othman, the founder Of the Turkish
dynasty, and ne is ninety-third In direct sue

Caliphs include the frst five Caliphs, who

In addition to these dynasties in direct line

for the long period OF more than 100 years.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: I am an
assiduous reader OF The Sun. but somehow
l overlooked n report contained In q recent
number. which has just been forwarded to
me through the courtesy Of the Electrical
Rsrier and Interests me keenly. During

what had called them forth. until the clipping

refer to an experiment supposed to have
been performed by Professor Alexander Ora
ham Bell. the inventor Of the telephone.
which consisted in propelling Rn aerial vessel
by power transmitted without wire. This could
have been practically accomplished only by
the use OF some Of my Inventions. and should
l have been forestalled In this one OF their
many applications l shall have the satisfac-
ton Of knowing that IL u b. a maj whose
name il already linked with an immortal
achievement. But II Professor Bell has under
taken this just to satisfy the world that an
airship can be operated by power transmitted
without wires he has gone to quNe I'M
necessary trouble. for long ago l made a
much better and further reaching demonstra-
ton. His experiment would only show that
such can be done close to the source OF elec-
trical energy, but my experiments have estab-
lished the fact that an aerial vessel or flying
machine can be propelled with the same facll-
iy and efficiency either near the transmitter
or at the antipodes.
The problem of aerial navigation was solved
IN the most satisfactory manner imaginable
when. In the fall OF 1890, I produced stationary
terrestrial waves and passed a current
equivalent to that OF several hundred In
candescent lamps around the globe. In a
carefully prepared statement. which ap-
peared in the Century M0odziRe Of June.
1900, l have announced this advance In popu-
lar language. but clear and unmistakable.
In my patents and technical articles. how
ever. / have fully exposed my methods and
appliances and given an account OF my ex-
periments: and the transmission Of electrical
energy without wires ia no longer q secret

Yours, Mr.. BRYAN, is not the preroga-
tive Of Genius. You are an excellent
gentleman, a person most prepossessing.
Forty is the Old Age OF Youth; fifty IL
the Youth Of Old Age. You, Mr.. BRYAN,
are just betwixt and between. 1t 10 the
period that Philosophy esteems the best.
There may be a'certain relaxation Of the
tissues; a matter OF indifferent oncern
In your case, Mr.. BRYAN, IL is betrayed
by a tendency to an agreeable rotundity
and by a greater susceptibility to repose.
Never mind. It will agree with you
famously, and the nymph, Contempla-
ton, whom heretofore you have sighted,
will reveal to you all her benignant
charms. Then will speech and action
spring from sources more mature and
so the more commend themselves to the
judgment Of the world. II is only Genius,
Mr.. BRYAN, that is exempt from every
law and that can enjoy the plaudits Of
the multitude in every extremity that it
a~ssails.
II Is conceded, sir, that you and Mr..
HEARST are two Of the greatest men that
the country has produced. By whatever
diverse methods each Of you has reached
this exalted plane, it is beyond dispute
that you are there. You I'LL the eye, in
the measure, Of your respective gifts, a.
none othersio your tune may attempt.
But, Mr.. Bryan, TO neither Of you have
accrued the attributes or the appanages
Of Genius. In whatsoever degree the
turbulent surges Of your respective am
billions may urge you to action, you will
both be OF the supremest discretion il
you reflect that neither of you enjoys
the prerogatives adverted to.
Unless a man shall have carefully and
definitely assured himself hat his rights
AZ a Genius are in~disputable he will
prudently defer and procrastinate re-
specting the assertion OF such rights.
The most trivial and inconsequential Of
instances should suffice to demonstrate
the incontrovertibility Of this PROPOSE
ton. For example, suppose that MI.
HEARST In his quality as a phiIologist, or
you, Mr.. BRYAN, in your quality as a
philanthropist, were to order a radical.
and tumultuous change in the orthoepy
OF the nation, inverting contemporary
literature upon its own dismembered
reurAins, do you for n moment imagine
that you could do it and escape the con-
saqusnces-much less have your act re-
ceive the appreciation Of the nation and
the nations scholars? Not much-if you
will pardon the abruptness Of the
phrase. You would have visions, espe-
cially would. Mr.. HEARST, to whom the
vitiation OF the English tOnguei is a vicari-
Gus pastime-you would both have Wis
ions, ~justifable visions, Of greasy nooses
dangling from inconvenient lamp posts.
