MISSING MEN IN

District Attorney, DeSpairing
of Police Aid, Appeals to
Cupidity of GangSterS.

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-Despairing of
any marked success from police EFF
forts to arrest Lefty Louie" and Har-
ny Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood"
District Attorney Whitman will offer
$4,000 reward for their capture He
hopes thus to appeal to the cupidity OF
the East Side gangsters, who may know
the hiding place of the two men ac-
cused of firing the shots that killed
Herman Rosenthal
The offer of reward is practically
the last step which Mr.. Whitman can
take to effect the capture of the two
gun men whom the police so far have
failed to arrest. and the knowledge that
he intends offering the reward is taken
to indicate that he has little hope of
the police in the future being more sue
cessful than in the past
His action in going over the heads OF
the police department with such an
offer is without precedent in this city.
The district attorney has secured new
clews as to the whereabouts Of the two
fugitives and today detectives We're
sent to Methuen Mass, and Duluth,
Mimi.

 The chief use of the quipus was for arithmetical purposes. The knots took the place of ciphers and could be com bincd to represent numbers to any amount desired. The colors of the strings explained the subjects to which the num- bers referred, and in this way the Pe- ruvians devised a complete system of enumeration. The Spaniards, who first visited Peru. testigcd to the rapadity with which their calculations were made
 It is easy to see how, with a corps of trained officials, such a system might be made to work effectually, but it is diff ficult to understand how historical events could be recorded and traditions pre- served. For this purpose were employed interpreters of the quipus, who. with knowledge acquired from other sources, could use these strings as reminders or suggesters by which events could be kept in memory. These interpreters bore the title quipu-camayus, or Keepers Nof the quipus,' and it was their business to col lect the records of the various deparee ments of the government. One was at the head of what corresponds to our census bureau, keeping the details in ref erence to the population of the realm and the list of those qualified to bear arms, another had charge of the revenues and still another of the treasury. Thus the government kept stored away myriads of many-colored strings which comprised what might be called the national ar chives.

Literary Peers Plentiful

Literary peers seem plentiful just now. Lord Mayo is busily engaged upon His tory of Kildare Hunt" and q most in- teresting volume it will be, as no hunt in Britain has a finer record. The hunt races are held at Punchestown, and are of world wide renown. Lord Mayo is the husband of lady who does many other things besides riding to hounds, and whose name is ever to be seen in con- nection with good works. Be those works the making of carpets in the town of Naas the feeding of pauper children, or the stemming of the tide of tuberculosis, they all find in her a steady and in- telligent helper, and one who, unlike most Irishwomen (she is one), brings to bear on her philanthropic efforts much sound good sense and the knowledge that arith- metic is an exact science.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF COLORED STRING Method of Ancient Peru vians for Keepink His
 tOrical Record

From Harper's Weekly
 All nations that have emerged from barbarism have made desperate strug- gle to find some means of expressing their thoughts and ideas in order to pre- serve them for future generations.
 The intellectual advancement of a peo- pie can come only as the master minds among them shed abroad their light to the untaught brethren and their children and cilildren's children As these same people progres sintellectually and scien- tifically their medium of thought trans ference improves.
 Most of us are familiar with the hiero- glyphics of the ancient Egyptians. By means of the engraved marks found on the monuments and other records of an cient Egypt could be represented objects, ideas suggested by objects, and even sounds. This signifying of sounds by means of symbols formed nearly true alphabet
 In Mexico the Axtez had a crude sys- tenn of picture writing by which sensible objects could be accurately depicted, but beyond that it coul dnot go. for it was Incompetent to convey abstract ideas
 Possibly the crudest invention of this sort was the mysterious science of the quipus, which was taught the Peruvians princes by their amautas, or "wise men, While both the systems before mentioned seemed primitive. this one is even more so; and yet it served it's purpose. and a very good one at that
 The quipus was string or rope, usu- ally about two feet long, composed Of many colored strings twisted together. To this main cord were fastened numbers of strings of different colors tied into knots, thus forming a fringe These knots gave the device it's name, for the word ouipus itself means a knot The colors represented sensible objects-for ex-

 One cannot walk half a square in Nun ich without hearing the clank of a sword It makes one think of two things, pre- paredness and taxes. The German officer and soldier is omnipresent. He looms up before you in his close-fitting gray coat and high red collar, at the theatre, the opera, the concert, the cafe-everywhere He passes your window, perhaps in the morning at the head of company of soldiers, all of them singing a rousing marching song at a rapid cadence. And 1t is the singing soldier who interests one the most His song is unlike anything we hear at home.

Lord KingsaIe Has No Irish Estates

Lord Kingsale, one of the 10 Irish peers who have sworn never to accept a seat in the Irish legislature, has no property n Ireland, the substantial portion of the honors won by the great Sir John de Courcy having long passed into other hands, that is if the Kingsale de Courcys ever owned any Of the Irish soil pos sessed by the famous John de Curci, Earl of Ulster. He is, however, premier baron Of Ireland. and cherishes the right to as- sume his head covering in the presence ot the sovereign, though actually there is no evidence that the privilege was ever granted by King John to the De Curci, the story being entirely legendary. More ever, the connection between the Earl of Ulster and the Norman de Courcys of Stole Courcy Somerset, from whom the first Lord Kingsale is said to descend, is very problematical; while as to the earl's Irish estates, an ancient deed of his time states that he relinquished his rights m Ireland to Henry TIT. Still. possession of a peerage that will have existed un- doubtedly for 69O years in May next is, in society, at least something to be proud of
