INFLUENCE ON SEX.
Views of Camllle Flammaiion on thj
Subject.
The eminent French scientist,, wilt
ing on tho rciiiltM of rndlcultiire at thoj
Jitvlsy observatory, says, experiments
made with silkworms tended to t-hnw
that those kept under dark cnlmcil
glass ate less than those kept under
light coloied glass, and also that un
der the darker glass the percentage ot
males produced was greater than un
der light glass. He thinks that li rlv
peiiments coincide with tiie theory that
a preponderance of male births occur
when there Is a diminution"!!! tho
quantity and quality of nourishment,
supposing that sex can be Influenced
by external circumstances nt nil,
Since the cm ly part of the lust t- n
tury many theories have been iuoachecl
to account for the difference of sex In.
plants and animals, but nothing deilu
lte hilt; been proved. The generally a -cepteil
theoiy Is that natuio tends ii
piesrve Itself by maintaining a nearly
equal piopiirllon ol the sexes anil that
when circumstances teqiiire the lllling
up of the epiota of either sex It Is
biought about by operation of natural
laws. Thus It has been noticed that
after wars or plagues more nwile chil
dren are bom than females. That good
nntiiiediment appears to produce a ills,
tinet prepnndeinnce of females, accord
ing to tho Kncjclopedlii Rrltatinlca, la
perhaps the single result which at ptes
ent can be legarded as clearly proven
and genetally accepted, Twenty jenia

females.
In the cne of Insects the tesiilts aro
said lo be still more conoliiiiiiti ,
Thus. It has ben shown that If ratei
plllais are starved hofoie entering ni

or moths are males, while otheis of tho
sumo brood, highly nourished, cajiieout
females. An Important experiment was
made among mammals hy tiiron. who
divided a (lock of SOO ewes Into equal
ports, of which tlio one. half weie ex
tremely well fed and served by two
young ranis, while the other was served
by two inaturo ranis mid poorly fed.
The proportion of ewe lambs In tlm
two cases was respectively I'O and 4C
per cent, in the human species, after
ii choleia epidemic or a war, nlorn
hoys aie sold to be burn. In town and
prosperous families there aie also moia
females, while males are moie numer
ous in tin- country and among tho
poor. Tills would also account for tho
extinction of many nobk families in
tho male line. Tli" Influence of tern
peratuio is also marked, morle males
beng burn dui'iig the colder months.
