CAN FIX THE SEX.
Professor Says —He Can Influence
Offspring, 1" of {lenlnn Beings.1
London, Jan. 6.—A dispatch to the
Chronicle flom Vienna says that Dr
Schenk, a professor in the Vienna Uni-
versity and president of the Embryo-
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 thefood 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-
perimen-ted 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-
ments along this line by horse and cat-
tle breeders.
France has been the field w acre most
of these experiments have been con-
ducted up to the present time, and the
efforts of scientists have in most cases.“
been urged along the line of sulgerv.
Operations of many descriptions have
been performed upon the lower ani-
mals with more or less success, but
nothing absolutely definite was ob—
tained. 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 lines, endeavo-ring to produce by
the consumption of, foods the requisite
ratio of vitality prior to the period of
' gestation.
There is no doubt that the Govern-
ment will ordel 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.

the large cities, as one of these certi-

brought to light in the cash of the Na-

Of the $18,000,000 in the Chicago Sub-
Treasury, $1,500,000 is in $100 silver cer—

at these two offices to take the certifi-
cates and store them away. The offi—

"He-ls MYSON,” SAYS coo-r141.
Salvation General Insists That He
Still Loves Ballington.
London, Jan. 6.—Six thousand per-
sons, most of them members of the 'Sal-
vatipn Army, took part at -Albert Hall
last night in a demonstration [of fare-
well to General William. Booth, who is
about to sail for the United States to
"assist in organizing great additions to
the army.” 'Three brass bands ledthe
music, and in the body of the hall were
a thousand Salvation lasses who per-
formed theatrical movements with red
white and blue scarfs. ‘
received a tremendous welcome, the
lasses forming themselves into figures
representing the American and British
flags.
Commissioner Coombs presented an
address from the English Salvation
Army; to be delivered to the American
army.
General 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 Salvationiists on both sides of
the water have only affection and con-
fidence for each other. We have had
our sorrows and storms. Inthe 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
I though I' think he is very much in the
lavrong, 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 011
such a large scale.”
