lWsSIvEs LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondents Sent From Paris Dur
Ing Siege Took Years TO Reach
r the Conslgneeo.

What would Americans say II they
received mail matter that had been de
layed in transit for a lifetime? In
800 persons were delivered-to az
many Of the addresses as were lv
ing-that had been mailed years be
fore. They were delivered, moreover
at the earliest possible moment; al
though the distance between the send
er and the receiver was In many cases
only q few miles.
During the siege Of Paris by the
Germans In 1870 the p~ostoflce admin,
~istration hit upon the expedient, In ad
dition to the balloons, of inclosing let
tiers in small zinc globes, water tight
and Theoretically sealed, and dropping
them into the Seine. There they float
ed, If they were not captured by the
Germans, down the river to the French
lines, where a net stretched across
the river gathered them in, and they
were sent on their way.
Unfortunately for the French, the
Germans discovered the character OIL
these zinc floats, and as they could moi
hope to see and fish out by ordinary
means all the letters that went down
thus, they stretched across the river
at Villeneuve Saint Georges, a net Of
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
The zinc balls and their use were
pretty nearly forgotten, when, some
yearS ago, a fisherman found in the
Seine, near Villeneuye, a queer looking
globe Of zinc. With a large knife he
opened it, and found 800 letters. still
legibile, and all dated December, 1870
They were delivered to the postal au
thorities, and after this long wait In
the river went OF their way.-The
