Lowery's Little Journal Published In Kasle During Boom Ended Its Short Career With a Unique dssue Which Is Now Eager- ty Sought by Collectors -- Printed Its Own Funeral Oration. can 'boom still tell of a paper which tion of the pioneer life of 'the Rockies. It was Lowery's Claim, printed in Kaslo, and finally forced out of that town by the hard times ed the inflation. R.T. Lowery, a remarkable character who Has e and cheerfully lost sometlring over $30,000 in the many journalistic veritures since the days of the Kaslo Claim, and who still remains in harness in earliest days of my mining experience I becatne a contributor in a small vay to the divers and sundry Lowery pub- lications, and in that way became well acquainted with the "editor and fin. ancier," as he called himself, says a recent article in a coast paper. He was then, 'and still is, an original writ. er and an original thinker, a hater of all kinds of shams and, withal, a man of the most tender heart, and one whom I am proud to number among my very good friends. The venture of the Kaslo boom resulted in a loss of about $1,000; but, nothing daunted, the colonel came to the scratch in the same spot in 1895 and ture under the name by which it gave up the ghost. He succeeded in re- gaining what he had lost in the boom holocaust, and a fait profit. Still lat- er the paper passed 'under the editor- ship of Harold Bolce, the well-known magazine writer, who was then con- nected with the late "Barbarian" Brown in His mining ventures in that part of the world, and he in turn gave way at the helm to David King, an- other remarkable character, who has Since written much of literary value, and who now resides in New York. At that time the name of the paper was changed to The Kootenaian, and under that title it is still conducted, | apparently' with success, in the little northern hamlet. _ The Claim began its career at a very inopportune time, and felt the full ef- fect of the utter stagnation that fol- lowed the meteoric fall in. silver a few weeks later, and the consequent failure of the late John M. Burke's bank. It struggled along for a few weeks, in the hope that some silver lining woudd reveal itself<in the clouds of encirclmg gloom, but eventually gave up the ghost and erected its own tomb on its front page. he blica- tion of this general notification that Kaslo was "busted" was most strenu- ously resented by those who were com- tion, and the doughty colonel narrow. ly escaped being the chief guest at a Tittle necktie party arranged in his particular. honor. Copies of the last issue of The Claim are few, and now command as much as $25. The Min ing Review is indebted to Colonel O. T. Btone and A. T. Garland of Kas. lo for a copy. At the time the paper suspended it consisted of four pages liberally t- ronjzed by advertisers, but the box office evidently suffered keenly from inability to recover the amounts re. presented in the space thus apportion. ed. A glance at the advertising es of the final spasm gives one a night- mare of topsy-turveydom- that com. pletes the freaky appearance of the sheet. The advertisements of those in arrears were turned upside down or sideways, or otherwise marred, while the reading matter was graced by in- verted. column rules, indicative of the ing journalistic funeral. he funeral address in the guise of the leading editorial was as follows: "The Claim goes up the shait to- day, and will be deposited in the jour- nalistic boneyard with the amount of regret customary on such occasions. "Its career has been short, but not altogether peaceful. Its readers have been numerohis. It has made some friends and a few enemies.

For really weird election addresses one must go to the theusands of who aspire to the modest honor local councillor. : Leicester, and it is pathetic to think that his really gorgeous address only brought him fourteen votes. He began by asking the electors of his ward to "'ancint their eyes with the spittle of love, amd" wipe them clean with the napkin of hisous- ness." The address is too long to quote in full, but its import was that every worker was to have a fixed wage of $15 per week, "with free trav- el and all rent and taxation ended." No one is to work more than five hours a day, and retire from active labor at forty-five. "I want 'you to put me into pewer to send all school children on a tour round the world during the last four years of their school age at the na- tion's expense, to make them bright and intellectual men and women, to be well-guarded by our soldiers and sailors, under the charge of their teachers and the most eminent physi- cians in our land." He also intended "to put the whole British Empire in apple-pie order," when 'every man shall smoke his pipe of comfort free from taxation, with beer of purity, while listening to the orchestral strains of parish bands." 5 It was a Hibernian candidate who stated : "My posterity belonging to one ' of the most famous Irish families and myself being a man of unassailable in- tegrity, of clear ifiteiligencs, and of exhaustive willpower, | will do my- utmost for our prehistoric sown." Students Cheer fer Liberty. The Khedive of Egypt wis nnpleas- antly impressed recently by a demen- stration which occurred st Tanta, 50 miles porth of Cairo, as his highness halted there on his way home from Alexandra. A number of students of the second, ary school shouted, "Long live the constitution! Long live the censtite- tional Egypt!" thus indicating that they were only ready to cheer the kbedive whem parliamentary rule is established there. The shouts became deafening, and signs "of displeasure were not on khedive"s face. When the khedival train departed the governor of the provines proceeded to the school and an inquiry. was opened. The executive committee of the school has in consequence expelled twelve of the students. It has been found that the students belong to a secret. society, the aims of which are anknown. Before their expulsion the students paraded the streets, shout ing "Down with the Governor. Death to hig? Long live the comstitution!" A number of hooligans joined them, and several arresis were includ- ing that of a Nationalist lawyer.

The color of the paper is peculiar, The combined thinness and strength of the paper are also unique. It is made in sheets large enough for two notes. Each note before it is sized weighs about 18 grains add then if doubled it is strong enough to suspend a weight of 38 pounds. | : The texture of the paper is also pe- culiar. It had a crisp feel invariably the same and such that bank clerks of experience can readily detect for- geries by this test alone. Then the wire mark impressed in the making by a frame, costly to make and diffi- cult to use, is practically inimitable.

This ink has a peculiar and very deep shade of black, common black inks being tint ed either with blue or brown. Giant Birds New Extinct, Is the British Museum, and in sev- eral conunental institutions for the advacement of science, there may be seen specimens of birds' eggs which are almost as large as a twogallon jug. These eges were laid by the epiornis, an extinet and gigantic bird of Madagascar. The cubic bulk of an epiornis egg is eight times that of the eg. of the ostrich, which means that each of them is equal in point of ca pacity to 150 hens' eggs. © ! The first discovery of these interest ing relies of past times was made by the captain of a merchant vessel which had stopped at a port on the northeastern coast of Madagascar to trade with the natives. During the stay at this point the curious vessels used by Whe matives for water vases attracted the attention of the tain Upon investigation it was found that these odd utensils were in reality gi- gantic egg shells cut in halves, Upon questioning the water carriers in regard to the bird that laid the eggs, and the place where they were procured, the captain was given to un that the bird itself was unknown, but that the eggs were dis' covered in a large sand bank some distance away in the up-country, and could not be found elsewhere, to. the knowledge of the natives. An offer to purchase all that could be procur- ed soon resulted in the discovery of several fine specimens, all of which fell into the hands of Isadore G. Bt. Hilaire, the French naturalist. These curiosities were afterward distributed among the largest museums. From Butcher's Counter to Pulpit. For thirty-eight years the Rev. W. Cuff, the famous pastor of the Shore. ditch Tabernacle, has worked amongst the poor of the east end of London. He began life as a butcher, but, to quote his own words, carcasses for the curing of souls." And few men have done more to al leviste the distress and bring sun- shine into the lives of the masses in the east end. His work has been full of interesting and amusing experi- ences. * He not only preaches to the people, but helps to feed them, and, on one occasion, thought he wuld' as- sist his wife in clothing them.
