CALCULATING DEVICE FOUND
NANCLENT PERUVIAN TOMB

LIMA. PERU. Apr. IS. = The fact
that ancient Inca civilization in Peru
possessed an efficient calculating ma
chine has been established by a re-
cent discovery OF Francisco Loaysa
OF Lima. The instrument consists of
a knotted cord or "quipu," unearthed
in a prehistoric tomb near Cajam-
area. While it has been well known
that the Incas made use of "quipas''
IN common with many other aborig-
inal peoples in the new world, Mr..
Loaysa is the first historian who has
been able TO interpret and describe
fully the use to which this device was
put. His studies show that the Incas
had a well developed system of arith-
metic, based on the decimal system
and that they employed the "quipu''
for purposes of rapid calculation in
Evening capital. [volume] (Annapolis, Md.) 1922-1981, 1923-04-28

and thousands are possible by this
device.
Many simple forms of "quipus"
have been found in Peru, but this is
the only highly developed one yet
discovered. These master cords were
not in ordinary use. but were prob
ably reserved for the royal statisti-
clans.
Mr.. Loaysa does not believe that
the "quipu" originated with the 1ncas,
but declares that the device was first
used by the ancient Chinese, later by
the Japanese. and believes that it was
brought TO America ly Asiatic migra-
tons in ages past.

Local people who went TO Denver to

missioners, who were to be ousted
when the Supreme Court of Colorado
made the first Of its fall decisions last
Monday. now "aIlow" that they were
very much "exasperated" because the
high court failed to take up the matter
of the appeal for a supersedeas at
this first fall session. No one knows,
of course, when the matter will be
reached, possibly the first Monday in
November.
The Court can deny the supersedeas,
which would Gust Messrs. Sullivan and
Knowles Immediately, or it can grant
the appeal, which would mean some
months delay while the matter Of
error and the request for n new trial
was considered. In the latter case, it
can fiaally refuse to take action, which
would also remove the commissioners
from Office, or it can grant a new trial
on account OF mistakes in the first
trial
