ADVENTURES OF A BOTTLE.


 Cast Upon the Waters It Returned After
 Many Days.
 In June, 1893, Lieut.. II. T. Mayo, of the United States navy, in charge of the Photographic office mt Port Towns. end, Wash, gave the captain of the Northern Pacific steamer Victoria a bottle which he asked him to drop into the sea when his ship was about half way across the Pacific on it's voyage to ChiDn, so as to test the currents. The bottle, says the Chicago Record, was securely corEed and sealed and con tained a request printed in seven diff ferent languages, including Russian, Chinese and Japanese, that whoever found it should send it to the nearest custom house ip the United States, with the date and the location when and where it was first seen. On July 4, 1893, when the vessel was in latitude forty-nine degrees thirty-two minutes north and longitude one hundred and seventy-fve degrees and forty-two minutes west, Second Officer Dobson, of the Victoria, took the bottle and with swing of his long arm cast 1t into the water. One morning few weeks ago when Lieut.. Mayo came down to his office he found on his desk package wrapped in an ancient and much soiled German newspaper, which, to hissurprise, was found to contain the very bottle he sent on that queer errand about sixteen months before. The janitor said the package had been left there by two rough-loolSing sailors. Upon drawing the cork the lieutenant found rude inscription upon the back of his carefully printed instructions which read:
 Here's your bottle. Found ton such and such date, in such and such lati- tude and longitude). The next time you cast a bottle adrift please put something else in 1t besides piece Of paper"

Sir John Macdonald, the first prime minister of Canada, was fond of relat- ing this story to illustrate the need of an upper house.
 ''of what use is the senate?" asked Jefferson, as he stood before the fire with cup of tea in his hand, pouring the tea into the saucer.
 You have answered your own ques- tion," replied Washington.
 "What do you mean~
 Why did you pour tea into the saucer?"
 ITO cool it"
 Even so" said Washington, "the senate is the saucer into which we pour legislation to cool. ."--Youth's Com. panion.

Mirror. That Arc Transparent.

great many devices are known for the purpose of enabling people in a house to see what is going on in the street without opening their windows. A new invention of this nature is re- ported from Halberstadt, Germany, be- ing plan for SO silvering glass that it reflects the image when looked at from one side, but when looked at from the other is as transparent as ordinary window glass. If this is glazed in a dweIling-room window anyone inside can see all the life of the street, while any passer-by looking in at the win dow will see but a mirror and nothing more. This avoids, therefore, the annoyance sometimes encountered in glazing either clear window glass or ground glass, in combining the special advantages of both. One object would be that many people might stop to aii. just their personal appearance at such mirrors. An innovation on reverse lines is that recently made in one of the Vanderbilt ball rooms, where the win. dows by day become large mirrors by night through mechanical arrange. ments, and thus add simply but won derfully to the brilliance of the scene.
 On the battlefield q general mus sometimes think quickly and act with out hesitation. A motorman recently showed himself to be gifted with thes' admirable traits. In Plainfield, N.

COPPER

Business in all branches is very good, and further advance has set in, so that 9.o. has been refused by some of the loading Lake companies, and large orders which have come into the market for export conld not 5s execu- ted, either because prices offered were tGo low, or because the copper was not in existence. Electrolytic copper is exceedingly scarce, and for near deliy- cry hardly to be had. In the begin ming of the week sales were made at 9.50. but aiterward 9l was paid. Cast ing copper is now also somewhat high CT, and we have to quote 9l @94o. No business is reported in Arizona pig copper.
