RAPID CALCULATION
SIMPLE FOR INCAS
Machine Found in Ancient Tomb
in Peru by Explorer

Lima, Peru, April 30.--The fact
that ancient Inca civilization In Peru
possessed an eficient 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 Cajamarca.
While 1t has been well known that
the Incas made use OF ''quipas" In
common with many other aboriginal
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 we'll developed system of arithmetic
based on the decimal system. and that
they employed the 'quipu" for pur-
poses OF rapid calculation in subtrac-
ton, multiplication and division.
The Master Quipu."
The master quipu" discovered by
Mr.. Loaysa consists of cord about
Is yards long, containing 100 knots.
These knots are divided into 10 I'M
equal sections by as many silver
beads, representing the odd numbers
from to. 10. The sections are of
different colors including red, brown,
yellow, blue and green. The colors
are important factors in the calculat-
Ing process. The silver beads placed
between the groups represent the
even numbers from 2 to 20. BY count
ing according to the rules discovered
by Mr.. Loaysa. all arithmetical oper-
ations can be carried out in rapid
and mechanical manner. Calculations
involving tens, hundreds and thou
sands are possible by this device.
Find Simple Form.
Many simple forms of "quipus"
have been found in Peru, but this is
the only highly developed one yet dis
covered. These master cords were
not in ordinary use, but were prob
ably reserved for the royal statis-
ticians.
Mr.. Loaysa does not believe that |
he "quipu" originated with the Incas

he Japanese, and believes that it

He was within quarter of mile

NOW GO on WITH THE STORY

To the girl II was an eternity be-
fore the moon peered through the
tops OF the tangled ccdars. Trees
and brush began to take shape. Mer-
cedes went on. She found tiny
spring trickling TO her right. She
wet her lips with its water and fol-
lowed its course Soon she caught
the beat OF waves. She had come out
TO the shore OF the lake. She cried
out with new courage. Her voice
rolled over the water to the cove
where her brother lay.
Esteban jumped at the sound OF it.
He had already waited long past the
appointed time TO send the raft adrift.
The echo of that cry in the awful
stiffness decided him to tarry no
longer. He cupped his hands to his
lighted match. and the long fuse be-
gan to sputter The wind at his back
was strong and steady. A healthy
push, and the raft with its deadly
lead foated away across the silvery
water.
He did not wait to speculate on the
success of its errand. He had had
hours OF that. Before long he was
dashing for the buttes. intent only on
reaching the valley
His going brought no sound to the
girl. The moon had given her her
bearings, and keeping ever within
sight of the lake. she stumbled to
the north, dragging her tired body to
new fortunes. A glowing pin-point
OF fire moving across the water
caught her attention. Its even, un-
beautiful fight fascinated her. 1t
was beautiful, unreal, ghoatly. But as
she watched it. the raft moved out Of
the shadows OF the opposite shore into
the full light of the moon.
She knew what it was then, even
before the wind had sent it close
enough to make recognition possible.
The truth left her strangely unmoved. |
She even found herself admirins the
