AN OLD THEORY.
DIR. George r. Shrady's Opinion OF
the Sex-Infuencing Discovery.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--The medical frater-
nifty in this city is much interested in the
report from Vienna that DR.. Schenck had
discovered the secret of exercising an In
fluence over females SO to fix the sex of
their offspring. DR.. George +. Shrady, edi-
tor of the Medical Record. to-day said: II
think Dr. Schenck's discovery is probably
a revival OF the old theory which holds
that the sex of a child is determined wholly
or partly by the manner in which its par
ents are ncurished. The study of animals
has shown that the female. when confined
to a low diet, If it cOnceives at ALL will
bring forth male. COntrarily when the
diet is of high nutrition, the issue is likely
to be a female. The breeders of all sorts Of
animals have gone to great length in at
tempts to individually prove this theory and
TO a certain extent the results bear it out
OF course. there are executions"

Travel to and from the orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5-The annual
report of the passenger business of the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company has been
filed with the government. 1t shows an in
crease in travel between this country and
the Orient. which is little less than phe-
nomenal. The approximate number of pas
sengers carried both to and from China and
Japan during the year was 1900, which is
an increase of % per cent. on the previous
year, and 40 per cent. more than the num-
Der handled for the corresponding trips
during the same seasons of the year 1896
Though the report does not distinguish be-
tween cabin and steerage. yet ii is a fact
that the bulk of the increase has been in
the cabin and consists of the very best
class of tourist travel.
