THE REPUBLIC: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 20. 1902.
DID SCHENK DIE
OF BROKEN HEART?
Removal From Management of Em
brvological Institute De
pressed the Trofessor.
.AUTHOR OF THE SEX THEORY.
Startler! the World With the An
nouncement That lie Could
Control Sex of .Child by
Treating the Mother.
Vienna. Aug. 19 Mesons" of condolence
are pouring In to Schwanborg, Stjria.
where Professor Leopold Sclicnk 31e5 yes
terday The removal of the professor from
the management of the Embry ologleal In
stitute, oer which he presided for more
than a quarter of a century, which was
due to a council of professors of ths uni
versity, had a depressing effect upen the
author of the sex theory. It Is said that
he never recovered from Its effects.
Professor Schenk was n savant In the fac
ulty of the University of Vienna ami was
renowned throughout the world as an em
bryologist. For thirty years and more he
devoted his energies to the study' of the
development of embryo In the human ani
mal and the lower animals. He published
several works upon his specialty, and these
constitute the standard upon the develop
ment of animal life in tho embryo.
In 1SSS the professor startled the world
by announcing that he had discovered the
scientific fact that certain treatment of
the female, either woman or the lower
animals, particularly by suitable nourish
ment, would cause the offspring to be of
the male sex. In explaining his alleged dis
cover!'. Professor Schenk said:
SchonU'n Sea: Theory.
"I gave the treatment under seal to the
Vienna Imperial Academy of Science, but
I can tell you the results of my discovery
and let you have the scientific facts upon
which my discovery is based. What lies
between is my secret. If I say I can
determine the sex of a child to be born, you
must understand that I can bring it about
that the woman bhall became the mother of
a son and not of a daughter.
"My treatment ha3 no other aim than
causing boys to be born. I made my dis
covery many years ago and subjected it to
proofs. It Is by my own choice that I am
the father of six sons, four of whom are
alive nnd strong. I have achieved similar
results In the families of relatives, friends
and some persons In whose ability to keep
a secret I had full confidence fourteen
cases in all.
"But I cannot treat every stranger who
may appeal to me. I must be able to watch
the patient, must be certain that my direc
tions are scrupulously obeyed. I consider
every new case as an experiment, a test of
my discovery.
"I can bring It about with human beings
or with animals having one young at a time
that this offspring shall be male, and with
animals bearing many together that the
majority shall be male.
"When I observed hens I numbered the
fgg". determining beforehand whether a
male or a female bird would come out. I
fccarcely ever was mistaken.
"I have achieved success In a family In
which the desires for the birth of a son
were Intense. If I told you the name of
the head of the family, you would know
that for him to pay me $10,00) for my serv
ices would be no moie than for you to pay
a doctor $1 for examining our throat. But
I did not accept any reward
All Depend on llu Womnn.
"All former theories and hy potheses have
been proved false. According to my dis
covery the man has no influence whatever
on tlie sex of the child. It all depends up
on the woman. The embrjo is sexless dur
ing several stages of development. It ::.
possible that my treatment can develop -i
male child even in this stage, but there 13
no certainty of It.
"My discovery is based upon the scien
tific fact that the blood in a grown-up
man contains 5,000,000 clood corpuscles, the
bearers of life-giving, nourishing oxygen,
while the blood in a grown-up woman
contains only 4,000.000. This difference Is
the basis of differences In sex nnd of the
different moral and physical working pow
ers in man and woman. This proportion
is observablo In the slightest quantity of
blood from a man or a woman.
"All my efforts are directed toward pro
ducing In tho embrjb the right number of
blood corpuscles required by the male. I
have succeeded In attaining this effect by
suitable nourishment of the woman and Dy
influencing the metabolic process In the
change of matter.
"The proof of my discovery is that I can
tell from the expectant mother's products
whether she will have a son or a daughter.
I have never made a mlEtake In many
years In applying this test."

FIRST OF NAVAL
WAR GAMES BEGINS
For Next Five Days Two Fleets Off
Kockport, Mass, Will Be En
gaged in "Search Problem.''
DISCOVERY MEANS DEFEAT.
Attacking Ships Will Win if They
Slip Past Cordon of Defenders
Before 'oon of August '27
Target Practice Important.
itr.rrnt.jc special.
New York. Aug. 19 To the accompanl
ment of heavy guns and the sunlight blaze
of searchlights the naval war game began
to-night That was off Rockport, M.is ,
where Rear Admiral Higginon's fleet 1
now assembled. It was merely a "limbering
up" process, in which the fleet and the torpedo-boat
flotll'a were involved, the torpedo
craft making a sudden midnight onslaught
on the anchn-pi fleet.
dlately preceded" the declaration "of ' ai"
between the blue fleet and the white squad
ron. For the ensuing five davs the-e two
will now engage in a maneuver technically
known as "the search problem." This is to
be a naval operation pure and simple, and
In working out Us conclusions one fleet of
shlp3 will be oppc-ed to another. To dis
tinguish them one fleet will be designated
as the White, the other as the Blue.
The three vessels of the White, command
ed bv Commander John E. Pillsbui. will
endeavor to strike the coast somewhere
between Boston a.id New York. The mis
sion of the Blue Is to prevent such attack
by interposing defending vessels between tho
hostile squadron and the shore.
)lf(pcr) VIcunM Defeat.
"If jou .aie dlscovertd, you are lost"
might be the watchword of the attacking
ships. For discovery means losing of the
game so far as the White Is concerned. If,
on the other hand, the White can slip pa--t
the cordon without being observed, that
will mean that the Blue has undergone de
feat and that the "enemy" has struck home.
Although "hostilLies' in this search prob
lem ,began at midnight to-night, they may
be ended immediately they are begun, or
the may last until noon August 25. If. dur
ing that period, the commander of the
White Squadron has not effected a land
ing, he must retire beaten from the contest.
If, on the other hand, he manages to place
his squadron between the battle line a-id
the shore, that alo will end the game, with
victory on his standard.
Likewise, if he falls to elude the v Igllance
of the patrol fleet that, f o, will conclude
the problem, no matter when It takes place.
The working out of the second problem,
which contemplates an attack upon the
batteries defending the eastern approaches
to New York, will be commenced soon after
the conclusion of the first problem. There
Is to b an armistice of two-davs a period
of final preparation In which both sides will
gird up their loins for the encounter.
This period of preparation begins at mid
night on August 23. and expires at mid
night. August 31. Then war is on between
the two strenuous but sham hostilities,
which will last throughout iix battle-racked
but bloodless days. At noon September 6.
peace will dawn again and last until the
umpires get together at the War College
ana begin to talk It over.
Grnillnc on Tnrjrct Practice.
Target practice with every gun In the fort
ifications In the maneuver district is nov
In progress. Every shot at the canvas tar
get is a shot directed at the North Atlantic
fleet, because upon th scores made in tar
get practice depends the efiicletcy by which
the umpires will Judge the Are dlrectHl
against the fleet. This will be the most im
portant method of calculation that will 1 2
employed in the entire series of operations.
Careful records are kept. If a battery of
three 10-inch guns Is flred twenty times In
target practice and scores 50 per cent of
hits, or ten in that number, that battery
will be credited with hiving struck a hos
tile ship In action ten times out of twentv.
This system of scoring will be maintained
even with rapid-lire gun3
E'ght vessels of Rear Admiral Hlgginson's
fleet. Including his flagship, the Kearsarge,
the battleships Alabama and Massachu
setts and the armored cruiser Brooklyn,
were at Rockport. Mass. to-night During
the day twelve midshipmen were detached
and dispatched to various j oints alon the
coast, to keep watch for the attacking
forces.

between them and have been expecting an

spying on his actions and reporting him
for slight infractions of the regulations,
and the other resented the charge. Yes

between them led to the fight.
Spectators declare that at the outset both
drew reolvers, but, by mutual agreement,
they laid these aside and went at it with

"Whenever Congress reaches the ccnclu-

"I have epresed some doubt, however,
about the wislom cf instructing by resolu

uncertain results.
"I have never seen the time since I have
given public questions consideration that I
would not reduce the rate on quite a large
number of items, nor when I would not In
crease the rate on other items.
"But I will not concede that a tariff for
revenue only will destroy trusts on any

he had been offered a place on the Isthmian
Canal Commission by President Roosevelt.
He had heard nothing of such an appoint

Midway May Go on Trnct.
Coupled with this new arrangement Is the
confident assertion of Exposition authori
ties that the Catlin tract will form the,
grand approach to the general lay-out of
the World's Fair, as the Commission of
Architects originally intended. Changes In
the north facades of the Manufactures and
Varied Industries, where they were to have
made a front on Llndeil boulevard, will har
menize n'celv with the scheme, since the
Forestry and Game and Education will
cover the facades of the first structure.
It is the Intention of the Exposition man
agement to use the Catlin tract. If It Is ob
tained, for either the amusement conces
sions or foreign Government buildings and
State buildings. The advertised allotment
of locations for State buildings, the last or
this month, has necessitated the quick clos
ing of negotiations for the Catlin tract. Tho
assignments of space for the various States
on that occasion must be final, and the Ex
position management recognizes the fact.
If the ground Is used for State purposes,
the midway will remain on Sklnker road.
