ADVENTURES OF A BOTTLE.
Cast Upon the Waters It Returned After
 Many Days.

Cast Upon the Waters It Returned After
 Many Days.
 In June, 1893, Lieut.. H. T. Mayo, of the United States navy, in charge of the Photographic office at Port Towns end, Wash, gave the captain of the Northern Pacific steamer Victoria 8 bottle which he asked him to drop into the sea when his ship was about half way across the Pacific on its voyage to China, so as to test the currents. The bottle. says the Chicago Record, was securely corlsed and sealed and con- tained request printed in seven diff ferent languages, including Russian, Chinese and Japanese, that whoever found it should send it to the nearest custom house in 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-five degrees and forty-two minutes west, Second Officer Dobson, of the Victoria, took the bottle and with swing of his long arm cast it 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 soilcd German newspaper, which, to his surprise, was found to contain the very bottle he sent on that queer eTrand lJJ2. sixteen months before. The janitor said the package had been left there by two rough-loolSing sailors. Upon drawing the cnrk the lieutenant found 2 rude inscription upon the back of his carefully printed instructions which read:
 ''Here's your bottle. Found lon such and such & date, in such and such'lati- tude and longitudc). The next time you cast a bottle adrift please put something else in it besides a piece o1 ! paper.
