 The authorities fear that unless the negroes get over their scare, some in nocent negro may suffer death of se- rions injury at the hands of panic stricken, fear-craZed members of his own race. Every effort is being made any untoward act by and negro, and in this work many of the moro intel ligent members of the black race are helping the authorities materially.

Nail Doors and Windows Firmly. and Hand Dampened Cloths Over Ali Apertures. to Prevent lngress of ChE0r0f0rm Which Demon

Texarkana, April 27.-Texarkana negroes are experiencing much fright over reports that the dreaded and deadly "aveman,' who has already wiped several negro families out of existence, at number of towns in Louisiana and Texas, has come to TeXarkana and is about to resume his work here
 In the negro quarters of Texarkana it is stated that doors and windows are not only barred and fastened at nights, but that they are actually nafled tight, to prevent the ingress of the unknown murderer. In addition to this, occupants of the houses hang dampened cloths over all keyholes and other openings, with the idea that these wet cloths will prevent the in gress of choloroform which it is un- derstood tho aXeman forces into the house before he himself enters.
 The negroes are all in a state of fear. and although they have been as- sured by the authorities and others of their white friends that there is absolutely no cause for their alarm, it is becoming difficult to handle them. Only a day or two ago one of the West Side policemen took charge of negro man, who was pointed out

culiariies of growth which have hitherto escaped zoologiste. He states that the skull of almost every species of wolf and jackal differs from the skull of the shepherddog to all extent that makes it impossible that this deg should belong in the same classi- ficaion. The skull of the Indian wolf. on the contrary, shows some points of resemblance. This, indeed, is the only savage canine and top of whose head projects like that of our dog
 There are, moreover, other charac- tarstics which the Indian wolf has in common with the dog and which the ordinary wolf does not share wir, them, although his origin and that Of the dog have long been supposed to be common one.
 The conclusion of this scientist is that the Indian wolf is the progenitor of the shepherd-dog and the blood hound. There were two primitive races of dogs analogous to these which were first domesticated in Gen. tral Asia, whence they passed to Europe, and there seems no reason to doubt that the bloodhounds of to- day is the direct descendant of the dog spoken of by the ancients as ".he dog of the age of branze"
