Is there any law which determinesODOWN NO. BA, DUDDELL whether boys or girls shall be born / The question is investigated by Do Bename int fon interesting paper which he congrbutes"

to the current zumber of "La Rosso," following up the researches of Dr. Schenk, whoss inquiries; however, led so no certɛan rosul. Dr. Romme, after a close statistical study, reaches the conclusión, that a boy is horn whon the father is the weaker of this two parents and a girl when the mother is the weaker. He dolures that by a law of nature the child resembles the weaker and not the stronger of its parents. He points out that in all countrina, with mathematical regularity, 185 or 100 girls are born to every 100 boys. There is only, one condition under which this proportion is modified-after a great war. In the same way, among the barbarcAIS, TACES OF Africa and Oceania, which are ornatantly at war, the births chew an overwhelming preponderance of boys. This, he states, proves the law, for the best and strongest men are sent to the front or killed, and the weakest remain behind or survive. The purpose of Nature is to maintain the

balance, and to replace the enter indi- vidual with another of the same sex before he or she disappears.

The constantly noted probability of the chill of a vicilè man and a woman whose system has been weakened by lack of food.bahriga boy led Dr Schenk to his theory that by restricting, the diet of a prospective mother he could increase the likelihood of male progeny.
