Into this movement when It gave

PARIS, June 28.—Primogeniture con

to Professor Metschinikoff On the con.
trary. all the eldest sons and daughters
must consider themselves as lucky if
they are Just normal.
The professor was asked to account
for the alleged increase of criminality
in Frame. His answer was one word,
"depopulatiqp." He afterward explained
himself thus:
The smaller families are the more
chance there is of the children taming
out idiots or criminals, which is much
the same thing. There is a much high
er proportion of degeneration and im
becility among first-born children ’han
among others. The limitation of fami
lies, therefore makes for the Increase
of abnormal individuals. The best stock
is produced only al the fourth or fifth
birth.
