INFLUENCE ON SEX.
Views of Camille Flammarion on the
Subject.

The eminent French scientist, writ
| ing on the results of radCulture at tho
Juvisy observatory, says, experiments
made with silkNo ormS tended 10 show
that those kept under dark ColOrcd
glass ate less than those kept under
light colored glass, and also that un-
der the darker glass the percentage Of
males produced was greater than un-
der light glass. He thinks that his EN-
periments coincide with the theory that
preponderance of male births occur
when there Is a dminutidn IN the
quantity and quality of uourishment,
supposing that sex can be Influenced
by external circumstances at all
Since the early part of the last con-
tury many theories have been broachcd
to account for the difference of sex in
plants and animals, but nothing dctln-
ite has been proved. The generally ac-
Cepted theory is that nature tends to
presrve itself by maintaining nearly
equal proportion Oi the sexes aud that
when circumstances require the filling
up of the quota of either sex it is
| brought about by operation Of natural
| laws. Thus it has been noticed that
| after wars or plaques more male chill
dren are born than females. That good
nOurShment appears 10 produce dis
| tinCt prepOnderance of females, accord
| ing to the Encyclopedia Britannica, is
perhaps the single result which a pres
| ent can be regarded as clearly proven
| and generally accepted. Twenty years
later Professor Schcnk of Vienna for
mulated substantially the same theory,
which attracted great attention The
| investigation of agricultural observers
| leave little doubt that abundant mois.
! ture and nouriShmcnt tend to produce
| females.
In the case of insects the results are
| said to be still more corruhoratlyc.
| Thus it has ben shown that if cater
pillars are starved before entering the
ChrYsalis state the resultant butterflies
! or moths are males, while others of the
same brood, highly nourished, came out
| females, An important experiment was
| made among mammals by Giron, who
divided a flock Of 500 ewes into equal
ports, Of which the Onc-half were eX-
tremely well fed and served by two
young rams, while the other was served
by two mature rams and poorly fed.
The proportion of eve lambs in the
two cases was respectively 90 and 40
per cent, In the human species, after
| n cholera epidemic or war, more
| boys are said to be born. In town and
prosperous families there are also more
females, while males are more numer-
| Gus in the country and among the
poor. This would also account for the
| extinction of many noble families in
| the male line The influence of tenn
perature is also marked, mOr!e males
beng born durng the colder months,
