In the current number of the Empire Review there is a very learned article by M. Fournier d'Albe on "The Deters surprisingly frank in giving his mination of Sex," from which it appears estimate of public opinion. He said: that this is always governed by the male cell and never by the female. The lady who fails to produce a male heir to a title or a great éstate is blameless. Con- trary to what has hitherto been the general opinion, the fault lies, it would appear, entirely with her husband.
M. Fournier d'Albe thinks it possible that, now that we have discovered at least part of the mechanism of sex determination, we may possibly go on to control it. But I believe there are fast number of people who will incerely hope that he is wrong, and that his anticipation will never, be realised: If people could determine the sex of their children for themselves we should very soon have chaos in the world. It is much Letter to leave the matter to Mother Nature, who seems to have a fairly shrewd idea of what she is about. It has often been noted that when the male population of a country has been greatly reduced by war she takes care to redress the balance in the next generation by providing an excess of boy-babies.
