SCIENTISTS INCREDULOUs.
Professor Virchow Takes No Stock in
the Theory That Martial Spirit
Increases Male Births.

Berlin, JAN 4.-Professor Virchow
was seen today by a correspondent in
regard to the influence the war has
had in increasing the number OF births
Professor Virchow said:
1T is not a question of embryology,
as before the embryo is formed the sex
Is already determined"
Asked as to the influence of the mar
fial spirit on the predisposition of par
ents, he said: ST could quite under
stand that this or another public ex-
element might have a tendency to alter
particles in the blood, but in no two
persons alike, and it is quite impossible
to determine to what extent. 1t is still
more impossible to determine the effect
on the prediSpOSition of parents. There
are no facts known to me which would
prevalence of a war spirit tends to in
crease the number of male births. I
agree that the only method of testing
the theory is by comparison of the
births. male and female, after and be-
fore a war; but even with complete sta
care to generalize on a matter which is
beyond all others involved in impene-
trable mystery
In Paris, Jacques BertilIon, brother
of the anthropometrist, himself a well
known director of statistics of the mum
acipality of Paris, said: 1T is pleasant
to attribute a preponderance of male
births to the martial spirit. In all
countries the births of male children are
in excess. This Is a wise provision of
nature, because little boys are more
fragile and die in greater numbers than
little girls, especially during the first
year of existence. Thus equilibrium be-
tween the sexes IS maintained in the
w hole world, The ratio is los to 100 in
all countries at all seasons"

tions of years and centuries and there
are no sanitary arrangements, sucn as
sewers and drains. The question can
be handled radically and straight out
from the shoulder, in which case the
population of the tenements will have
to be thinned out. Or the matter can
be temporiZed.
The cleaning of the city is now in the
hands of the city council. Since the
American occupation they have been
attempting to do something In the mat
ter, but they clearly lack the ab1llLy TO
grasp and handle the question. They
have no idea as to what a clean city,
according to our American ideas, should
be. None of them has ever been lntl-
mately acquainted with one. AT d
recent meeting of the council When CnlS
subject came up for discussion, one
member pompously remarked; Let us
show the Americans that we can keep
this city clean as well they can "
Insomuch as we have before us the re
suit of several centuries of their enort
in this direction the remark appears
ridiculous.
The matter of the sanitation of this
city needs American handling. 1t calls
for a North American to run 1t. 1t is
the purpose of the present american
military authorities to allow the PORTO
RicanS to administer, within certain
limitations, their own affairs. Well ana
good but this matter of health, which
effects every American resident In the
capital, should be theoretically admin
istered by an American. It is manifest
that Porto Rican can not do 1t as II
should be done.
On the northern ridge of the city OF
San Juan is long line of old Spanish
fortihcations. There are walls many
feet thick broken by embraSures for
cannon and old sentry boxes. In pic
turesque irregularity they stretch along
above the breakers from MORO Castle
on the western end to the old fortress
of San Cristobal on the other. This
part of San Juan Is the most attractive;
it is exposed to the persistent trade
winds and the ground is the highest in
town. 1t is clearly the best location In
the city, but unfortunately it is now
occupied by San Juan's worst and dirt
lest inhabitants.
The old walls and the broad street
behind them lend themselves to a most
attractive scheme of city improvement.
With grading and leveling there could
be built here the most attractive drive
way in the West Indies. The old walls
would hold it up from the sea, MORO
would mark one end, San Cristoba1 the
other there would be the cool trades
to rattle the palm leaves, planted to
give shade, lights would make it bright
at night, the waves would flash white
over the rough coral below and sea and
sky would give one mass of brilliant
blue color. If such an enterprise were
started by the municipality or the state,
private enterprise would seize up the
tumble down barracks that now face
the future driveway and this prosperity
would be improved and all would be in
keeping.

VANDERBTLT'S BALL.

New York, Jan. 4.-The ball which Mr..
and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt will give

son. ALFRED GWynne Vanderbilt, will be
one of the largest private entertain

almost regal in magnificence. More
than that, it will mark for New York
society the dawn of expansion.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, so those who know
say, scorns the idea of a $50" or even
a 400" She has not followed the ex-
amples of Mrs. Ogden Mills and Mrs.
Henry Sloane and sifted the smart set.
She has remembered all her friends,
has sent out 1900 invitations, and so
ciety will probably be known hereafter
as the chosen Twelve Hundred"
She has selected the representatives
of the old Knickerbocker families whose
grandfathers' front doors opened on
Stuyvesant and Washington squares.
She has asked some whose families
