LECTURE BY MR.. TOTEM.
Architecture of Constantinople and
Vienna His Theme.

The members of the University Club,
who have been enjoying a series of Sat
urday night lectures for several weeks
heard last night George Oakley Totten. a
Washington architect. who gave an illus
trated lecture on THE Architecture of
Vienna and Constantinople." Mr.. Totten
was one of the representatives of the
American government at the International
congress of architects which met in Vien-
ma last summer. After the congress had
concluded its sessions he went to Con-
tantinope His visits to these cities re-
suited in the gathering of material from
which he made his lecture last night.
While in ConstantinopIe MIR. Totten was,
through one of the pashas, a great friend
of his offered position by the sultan as
official architect of the Turkish govern
ment. He had made up his mind to ac-
cept the post, but went on to London to
visit friends before beginning his work.
While he was in London a revolution
broke out in Turkey and the pasha who
had recommended Mr.. Totten to the sui
tan was forced to fly from Constantine
Pile. When he heard of the trouble Mr..
rotten gave up all thought of being the
sultans architect and came back to Amer
lea. His description of this experience
last night was received with much amuse-
ment by his audience.

WILL MAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE
DR.. LIE BoN'S PROPHECY ABOUT
HERTZIAN WAVES.
Means to Penetrate and Destroy
Magazines at Long Range Ger
tain to Be Discovered
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, March "a, 1909.
DIR. Gustave LIE Bon makes a remark
able prophecy in the Paris Matin. He de-
clares his conviction that within fifty
years HertZian waves will render war
impossible. He says:
Il made series of experiments with NJ.
Brandy for the purpose of finding out the
degree of permeablity of various bodies
with regard to Hertzian waves. We found
that these waves were able to traverse
stone walls more than three feet thick,
whereas they were stopped by a sheet OF
tin no thicker than a cigarette paper. A
fissure no bigger than the hundredth part
of millimeter u-2JOO of an inch) was
sufficient, however, for the waves to pierce
the sheet.
In space these waves are propaSated
spherlcaIly in all directions. Given these
| facts. it is conceivable that physicists viii
succeed in directing these waves, in max
in the same direction.
1T has already been found that polar
lied waves move along the same plane.
1t would be sufficient to direct sheath OIL
parallel waves. There would thus be no
loss of electric energy.
meeting an ODStacle, Sucn as snip OF
d powder magazine. these electric radia-
tons would charge the whole metallic
portion of the object thus met with. The
metallic framework would Sputter with
the electric sparks discharged. The net
work of metallic wires on ships, torpedo
boats etc, would provoke an atmosphere
of sparks which would cause the maya
zines or the shells to explode.
The HertZian waves directed in par
alleI waves would penetrate the arsenals,
classmates. fortresses or powder maya
zines. destroying everything in their pas
sage. This application of HertZian waves
is as yet impossible, for in order to re-
fleet these radiations. the length of whose
waves varies from 800 to 1000 yards, II
would be necessary to employ arabolic
mirrors 10000 yards or more high.
IF Hertzian waves of less length were
utilized the problem might be resolved
more quickly, but these waves would b.
transmitted only few score yards.
But the discovery of an apparatus for
transmitting parallel waves can be made
and war would thus be rendered imposs-
BILE
THE physicist who finds out how to
direct parallel HertZian waves will make
his discovery known by directing method
icaIly his waves on the vessels of a fleet
gathered together. let us say, like the
American feet at Vilefranche. the Eng
Iish fleet at Spithead or the German fleet
at KEEL Many millions would be engulfed,
some lives sacrificed. but what a formid-
able power would be revealed to the eyes
of the whole world. What an immense
service would be rendered to peace
In conclusion DIR. LIE Bon added: Il am
convinced this is not mere fancy. Our
grandchildren will see its realization.
