Constantinople. October 5_There
was a fev>r of war enthusiasm in
Constanttnorle to-night. The capital
was depressed at the outbreak of
strife with Italy. Tripoli meant noth- j
ing to the average Turk. Even the >
humblest realized that it must be a
campaign by Constantinople; that
Turkey had no anvy: that defeat was
inevitable But the Greek, the Bui- 1
garlan, the Servian and the Monte- I
negrln ere known, and the rank aad j
file t?f the Turks are ftonfident of j
their sMllty to beat them.
The new regime has never been so
popular. AU elements are united. The
press Is howling for hostilities. En?
thusiastic demonstrations occurred be?
fore all the ministries during the day.
Troops are pouring late the city from
all directions ar.d eut again toward the
northern frontier. No one thinks of
submission to the demands of the

with whicii. contrary to the statemeut
in the press, Ueiacnod'a system has
absolutely nothing to do. Machines
tine Anderson's, said M. Bethenod, are
ically toys. They are terribly dear
and are onlj, abie to emit b.uuu meter
waves. Bethenods maubines are solid
end practical, and give 60.000 meter j
waves. To give the others the same
power would cost millions, even if it
were poeelble.
M. Bethenod said his appartus was
In two parts, the machine and antennae,
both being special. The spark is sup?
pressed and the oscillations produced
by special machinery. An Important
point, which was the Inventor's real;
object, 1* the production of very long'
waves. The difficulty with the pres-j
ent wireless is the short wave with!
whose progress all other short, waves!
in the atmosphere interferes. Long
waves are not troubled by the short,
ones. The longer a wave is the leas lti
deteriorates.
The very long waves emitted by!
Methenod's appartus are completely;
independent of the phenomena or na?
ture. Further more, the short waves
cannot be measured mathematically.
One can be meaeured perhaps, but the
next one cannot owing to the deprea-1
slon. Betbenod's waves are all meas-;
ured mathematically. Before launching
a wave he knows Its mathematical'
measure, for he is a mathematician be?
fore everything. The production of
long waves and the measurement
thereof?that is. tbe greatest problem
whence, aa all scientists know, will
flow the greater application of wire?
less to telegraphy and telephony anl
rapidity in transmission.
"Have you experimented?*' asked the
co rrespondent.
"Tee." answered V. Bethenod. "be?
tween Parts and Brussels. We used
the existing supporters of masts and
then after testing the antennae sent
an experimental 2.000-meter wave. We
next used an apparatus which allowed
a *6.000-meter wave. We measured the
waves and found them to b? exactly
what I had foretold. We found com-:
munication by the long wave bettet
than by the short one. and it Is import?
ant to note that the long wawe was ob?
tained with tbe same antennae and
supports: that is to s?" . at the same
expense ss the short one. We were so
satisfied with the remit that we hare
ordered machinery ef high power and
hope m a few months to be able to com-1

The dmoovery yesterday of tour new

t'stll yesterday, there were no cases
of scarlet fever under observation on
the ?outhside of tne river. For sev?
eral weeks, the only scarlet fever in
Richmond was confined to the south -

street. Some time later cases were
reported on Charcn Hill, then one pa?
tient contracted It on rtort'i Tenth
Street. About the same time cases
were found in the West End north of
Main street, and the Health Depart?
ment map showed the disease to be,
fairly scattered over the entire city.;
While the southwest seems the worse
afflicted, there is no longer hope of
confining the fever to that section. The
