NISsIvES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dur ing Siege Took Years to Reach
 the Consignees.

What would Americans say if they received mail matter that had been de layed in transit for 8 lifetime? In France, few years aga, letters for 300 persons were deIivered--to as many of the addressees as were liv- ing-that had been mailed years be- fore. They were delivered. moreover, at the earliest pxsaible moment; al. though the distance between the send. CT and the receiver was in many cases only few miles.
 During the siege of Paris by the Germans in 1870 the postoff1ce admin istration hit upon the expedient, in ad. dition to the balloons, of inclosing let ters in small zinc globes, water tight and dramatically 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 net stretched across the river gathered them in, and they were sent on their way.
 Unfortunately for the French, tho Germans discovered the character of these zinc floats, and as they could not 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, net of their own and effectually stopped this system of postal communication.
 The zinc balls and their use wers pretty nearly forgotten, when. some years ago. fisherman found in the Seine, near Villeneuve, queer looking globe of zinc. With large knife he opened 1t. and found 300 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 on their way.-The Sunday Magazine.

coLoRs NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With. out the Inspiration of the Regi-
 mental CoIors.

The colors of the British army arc made of silk, with gold-fringed edges and cords and tassels of crimson and gold, mounted on a staff eight feet seven inches long.
 To insure their absolute correctness in matters of detail and pattern. an official of the Heralds' College acts as inspector of colors." He has to furnish drawings and designs, and is responsible that an unauthorized de- parture is made from them.
 Every infantry battalion has two colors-"the wings" and "the regi- mental" The former Is always of the same pattern. and shows the union jack on a hue ground, while, the lat ter has a wreath of roses, shamrocks and thistles. with the regiments motto and crest, surrounded by list of the various battles in which it has taken part.
 Regimental colors are no longer car ried into action, but are now loft be- hind at headquarters when battalion proceeds on service. This has bean the rule since the Boer war in 1881. \ couple of years earlier two young ofii- cers of the South Wales Borders were killed while endeavoring to pre- vent the colors, of which they had charge, f falling i. the hands of the enemy at the battle of Isandht wana.
