new DISCOVERY Will
INDICATE Sex OF egg
Has Been Tried Out Successfully by
Western Inventor.

San Francisco, April 80. - A
secret device that will indicate the
sex of any living organism has been
invented by a local chemist. The
instrument consists of a globe of
secret composition suspended by a
siIken fiber. In applying the de-
vice the globe is suspended above
the subject II the organism is
male 1t swings in a circle. If the
subject is female the globe swings
back and forth like the pendulum
of a clock.
The device was first tried on eggs
in an incubator. over 80 per cent
of the eggs Matched out as indicated
by the invention. Then other eX-
periments were made in . butcher
shop. The globe indicated the sex
of the cuts of meat and dried blood.
and has even determined the sex Of
a child before birth.
The new instrument will be very
valuable in the apprehension of
criminals. owing to the flexible de-
lection of the sex OF blood. 4 local
detective agency is now investigat-
ing the invention.
