A PHILADELPHIA child was born with
a fair complexion, dark eyes and brown
hair. Soon after birth he began TO turn
dark OF skin, the color deepening from
yellow to saffron, and finally to black.
The color was uniform all over the
body, except at the joints, where it was
a little darker, and in the palms Of the
hands, where it was lighter. The once
brown hair grew stiff and Jet black,
and the eyes also grew darker, so that
the line between the pupils and the iris
could not be distinguished. Dr. Rev
nolds, who has closely studied this sin
gular case, says that the disease is mel
anosis or pigmentation, which is mem
toned in the books in a general way,
but there is no case given where it had
developed all over the body. This was
more than sixteen months AGO, the
child being then thirteen months old.
Since then the boy has greatly i'm
proved, by degrees becoming lighter,
until now he is of light chestnut
brown color.

DURING a recent performances IN tho
Teatro del Circo, At Madrid, a madman
forced his way into the house, armed
with hatchet, and contrived 10 climb
from the auditorium upon the STAGE.
where, brandishing his weapon furious
", he announced himself TO the terri
fed audience as "the Aven0er Of Man
kind" All attempts TO remove him
having proved in vain, and his fury
momentarily increasing, a detachment
OF soldiers received the order TO load
with ball and fire upon him. A minute
later the wretched man lay corpse
upon the stage, three bullets having
passed through his head; and, this
highly sensational dramatic episode
having been thus brought to a close,
the audience returned to their places,
from which they had fed in terror when
the madman made his first and last ap-
pearance upon the stage, and the even
ings performances were resumed at the
point at which they had been interrupt
ed by "Mankind's Avenger."
