HIS DISCOVERY NOT NEW.
Schenck's Idea Said to Have Been in
Practice Several Years.

London, Jan. 1s.-It is learned that
Dr. George H. Napheys of Boston as
far back as 1885 Endorsed the previous
ly-expressed views of Prof. Thury of
Geneva academy that males and fe-
males could be born in accordance with
the desire of parents. Indeed, Ameri-

long been practicing successfully on
these lines among the seafaring pOpu-
Iation of the eastern coast.
Thus, there is nothing new about
