New York, Dec. 29.-That poverty
and riches are factors in determining
the sex of human offspring was theory
advanced in a paper read before mem

alists assembled in Schermerhorn hall,
Columbia university, by Professor T. H.
Morgan Of Columbia 5 department. Of
zoology. %;s2-E 'f.s~@ t1;,'s.t y:
'fThere are few biological ques-
tions,'' he said, THAT appeal more di-
rectly to the human race than whether
the sex of the child can be determined
by the external conditions under which
the parents live, or whether the con-
ditions are internal and therefore be-
yond the power of control
~ One school, that Of reformation,
assumes that the male or the female
characters are carried by each Sperm.
= The opposite sex-that Of epigene-
sis-assumes that all eggs and every
sperm carry the potentialities Of both
sexes; there are no male and no female
eggs, no male or female sperm, in the
sense that each carries only one set Of
characters. I
Professor Morgan stated that the one
external factor above all others sup
posed to have an intimate relation to
sex determination is nutrition. Among
conditions where food was plentiful It
had been ascertained the proportion of
male offspring was greater than the
proportion Of females, and whore food
was scarce the proportion Of females
was greater.

prevails among the small stockholders
Of the Milwaukee road owing to the
ruling Of the management that there are
to be no fractional shares. Small in
vestors stand to lose several millions
of dollars.
!. Under this ruling the holder Of $500

tional amounts I'm this case half

Of common) are not allowed.
IL an executor has ten shares Of
stock. divided among ten benefciaries,
each holding one share, to them this
stock subscription means absolutely
nothing. Ostensibly they should each
be entitled to subscribe to $75 of
stock, but in reality they can sub
scribe to nothing, as the management
does not recognize fractional amounts.
i. It is an excellent proposition to
g man like II. II. Rogers, William
Rockefeller or J. Ogden Armour, who
hold perhaps $4,000 shares or more

Des Moines, Dec. 29-Every effort
to discover the identity of the beauti-
full girl whose dead body was found
swaying beneath an Illinois Central
bridge at Ackley has ended in dismal
failure. sa. 5Gj s.
That the girl came from Des Moines
is believed to be almost an assured fact,
since train officials on the Iowa Falls
shortline remember that girl answer
ing her description boarded the car at
the Des Moines union station the day
before Christmas. ;5 I. 81
The first clue to the girls identity
was furnished by Mrs. John Weaver Of
Iowa Falls, at whose house she stayed
Christmas eve. To Mrs. Weaver the
girl, or one answering the description,
said her name was Mary Cooper, and
that she had worked in a hardware
store in Des Moines. 1
A barber, Rudolf Jungblut, told the
police that the description answers his
wife, who left him eight months ago.
An investigation Is now in progress.

There was only one matter Of import
ance before the council last night, and
that was bunch Of applications for re-
newal Of liquor licenses At least twelve
saloon licenses expire between today and

the result OF the, failure Of the council to

serious as in each case the license fee Of

Dundee, Scotland, Dec. 29.-In rail
! road collision, caused Indirectly. by the
heavy snowstorm of the last few days,
sixteen persons have been killed and
over thirty injured.
The accident occurred near Arbroath,
on the North British railroad, between
Edinburgh and Aberdeen, and some dis
lance north of Dundee.
Among the persons injured is Alexan-
der William Black, member Of the house
of commons from Banffshire, Scotland.
Snow Clogs Signals.
The accident is attributed to the
heavy. fall Of snow, owing to which
trains from London for Aberdeen, were
held up at Arbroath: During the after
noon, however, the line was cleared and
one train proceeded for Dundee.
It had stopped at Elliott Junction and
the danger signals were thought to have
been set. They failed to act, how
ever, thru being clogged with snow, or
from some other cause not yet ascer-
tanned, and the express train dashed
into the rear Of the waiting train.
Date Is One of Fate.
It is recalled that the Arbroath &C.
cident occurred on the anniversary Of
ScotlanG's worst railroad accident, the
Taybridgc disaster of 1879, and with
in twenty miles Of that disaster. In
the wreck of twenty-seven years ago
the bridge collapsed and precipitated a
train and over seventy people into the
river. No one escaped.
