TAKE II CHILDREN TO ELOPE.
Whoever with Three Big Boys Fas-
cnates Mother of Big Family.

Rochester, Aug. 13.-Joseph Bauer is
fond of children, and, although a Wild
over with three boys of his own, he felt
lonesome. Mrs. Louise r. Kingsley, a
piano fEisher, possesses a family of
seventeen hale and hearty youngsters
and Hauer fell violently in love with
Mrs Kingsley and her flock at first
sight.
Mrs. Kingsley, who is short, neshy
and 50, became acquainted with Bauer
through his selling her garden truck
he being a huckster. Kingsley never
suspected anything wrong until the
eloncment last night. The loss of his
wife was bad, but the quietness that
r&igned throughout the once noisy
home when it was occupied by the
seventeen little Kingsleys was more
than he could stand, and he went to
the police station and SWore out a war
rant for Bauer, charging him with
stealing his family.
AS several of the children are under
10, he also put the case in the hands of
the Humane Society. The clippers were
traced to the town of Gates, where they
were endeavoring to stow away the
seventeen youngsters and themselves
in i thrce-room cottage. They We're
brought to this city and are now lodged
in Jail.

That a body can acquire, during the
night a different temperature from
that of the surrounding atmosphere
has been demonstrated by Mr.. Well. an
English physicist. If thermometer
is taken form the window, wrapped in
cotton And placed on the ground its
mercury will descend seven or eight
degrees. Vegetables similarly situated
being bad conductors, may freeze at Il
time when the thermometer does not
mark the freezing point-proof that
the cold experienced by plant may be
entirely different from the tempera-
ture OF the surrounding air. This low
temperature of plants, however. only
occurs when the night is clear, since al
this time the plant sheds its ..eat
throughout space and becomes chilled.
whereas if the night is cloudy. the
phenomenon does not occur. This
gives rise to the popular superstition
that plants and buds are frozen by
moonlight.
