CAN FIX THE SEX. ' '
Professor Says. He Can! Influence
Offspring of Human Beings.
London, Jan. 6.——A dispatch\ to the
Chronicle from, Vienna says that Dr.
Schenk, a professor in the Vienna Uni-
versity and president of the Embryo-
logical Institute, says he has dis-
covered the secret influencing the sex
of the progeny of men and animals. He
has been studying the question for
twenty years, and just completed his
researches. He will submit the result
to the Vienna Academy of Science,
meanwhile withholding the details of
the secret.
He discloses. however, that his theory
is based on the nature of the food con-
sumed by the female during gestation.
He- began his researches among: the
lowest invertebrates, gradually rising
to the highest animals and to human
beings.
Dr. Schenck asserts that he has ex-
perimented with entire success in the
families of consenting friends.
New York, Jan. 6.—News of the dis-
covery is received here with the great-
est interest among medical and scien-
tific men, who for, years have been
awaiting the results of various experi-
ment:- along this line by horse and cat-
tle breeders.
France has been the field w iere most
of t! ese experiments have been con-
ducf 'd up to the present time, and the
effCt :s of scientists have in most cases
bet I urged along the line of surgery.
Op .‘ations of many descriptions have
be :1 performed upon the lower ani-
m. is with more or less success, but
nc:hing absolutely definite was ob-
t.’ ined. It gradually became patent
that the sex of offspring depended
principally upon the respective vitality
of the male and female animals, and,
it is presumed here, Dr. Schenck has
been conducting his experiments along
these Ill es,
the consumption of foods the requisite
ratio of vitality prior to the period of
gestation.
There is no doubt-that the Govern-
ment will order a most careful inquiry
into the discovery of Dr. Schenk, as the
possible results of such a revolution in
the controling of nature are almost be-
yond human comprehension. '
CRANK AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
\‘I-‘estc'liester County Fal'lner Hus a.
Message from Christ to McKinley
“’ashington, Jan. 6.—Jacob Clements.
a German, from Ti'estchester County,
New Tigrk, caused considerable excite-
ment in the White House yesterday.
W'hcn denied permission to see the
President he becan‘ie very violent, and
was with difficulty restrained by the
guards and police. He is now confined
in prison and will be held pending an
inquiry as to his sanity.
Clements says he has a message to
President McKinley from Christ. He is
a heavyiset farmer, 58 years old, and
speaks little English. He says he has
a wife living on his farm near \Vest-
Chester. He left home Sunday night
and arrived in “'ashington Tuesday.
He went to the Executive Mansion and
asked to see the President. The door-
keeper told him he had better write a
letter.
Clements went away, returning an
hour later with a communication. He
returned yesterday and insisted that he
must see the President. He declared
that New York was under the control
of Tammany and he could live there
no longer. Becoming violent he was ar-
rested.
MORE BOGUS $100 BILLS.
Fears that Large Numbers Have
Been Foisted on Sub-Treasuries
Vv‘ashingtonf Jan. 6.-—Treasury De-
partment officials are still greatly
worked up over that $100 counterfeit
silver certificate. They believe that a
gang worked simultaneously in all of
the large cities, as one of these certi-
ficates has been received from the Chi-
cago Sub-Treasury, and another in the
St. Louis batch, and still another in
the Philadelphia budget, while one was
brought to light in the cash of the Na-
tional'Bank of Washington.
Of the’$18,000,000 in the Chicago Sub-
l‘reasury, $1,500,000 is in $100 silver cer-
cificates. The Sub-Treasury in St. Louis
has $1,750,000. It has been the practice
at these two oflices to take the certifi-
cates and store them away. The offi-
cials are anxiously awaiting the ship-
men't from these places, which it is ex-
pected will be received here on Thurs-
day, as it is feared that a number of
the counterfeits will be found inzthese
vast hordes. Comparatively small
amounts are held in other large cities,
New York holding about four hundred
thousand dollars.

”HE IS MY SON,” SAYS BOOTH.
Salvation General Insists That He
Saill Loves Ballington.
London, Jan. 6.—Six thousand per-
sons, most of them members of the Sal.
vation Army. took part at Albert Hali
last night in a demonstration of fare-
well U) General William Booth, who is
'nbout to sail for the United,States to
“assist in organizing great additions to
the army.” Three brass bands led the
music, and in the body of the hall were
a thousand Salvation lasses who pet“
t’ormcd theatrical movements with red
white and blue scarfs.
General Booth, on entering the hall
received a tremendous welcome, the
glasses forming themselves into figures
representing the American and British
flags.
Commissioner
Coombs presented an
address from the English Salvation
.Xi‘it.§'. to be delivered to the American
ill'lllY.
tlcnerai Booth, in the course of a long
speech, said:
"I am going where I shall unquestion-
ably receive a generous Welcome
Whatever jealousies or antiquated an-
tipathies may be in the hearts of oth-
ers, the Salvation-ists on both sides of
the water have only affection and con-
fidence for each other. We have had
our sorrows and storms. In the United
States one of the greatest sorrows that
could come to a general of God has
come to me. One of my own son-s has
departed from his father‘s .side and
from the Salvation Army.
“I do not bear him ill will; for
though I think he is very much in the
wrong, he is still my son. Of contro-
versy or disputation I’ll have none. I
am the friend of all men.”
The meeting cheered a cable dispatch
from» John Addison Porter, on behalf of
President McKinley. In the dispatch
Mr. Porter said:
, “The report of the progress of your
philanthropic work is one of which you
have a right to be proud. I can assure
you the President fully realizes the ef-
fective relief work now being done on
such a large scale."
