Bird Songsters Not
of the Same Family

William Lyon Phelps, In a pleasant
article In Scrlbner's Mafazlne, ex-
presses some surprise that the English
blackblrd sings so beautifully, while
our own blackblrds produce so poor
quality Of music After hearing our
backbirds, grackles and redwings,
when Professor Phelps heard In Eu-
rope "a strain Of the loveliest music
In the world" he could hardly believe
It when they told him It was black
bird singing. The English or Euro
pean blackblrd Is not backbird at
all, according to the American under
standing Of that designation. The
English blackbrd belongs to the
thrush family, Of which our hermit
thrush wood thrush and robin are
prominent members. They all sing
well. In fact, musical ability runs in
the thrush family wherever It's rep
resentatlves are found. The English
blackblrd Is really our robin except
that he differs somewhat in appear
ance, the variations being due perhaps
to climatic conditions. No wonder he
can sing The bird known in England
as the robin is really n warbler, not
related at all to our robin except that
both are birds-OhlO State Journal

Asserts That Poverty
Is Punished as Crime

1t Is a common cant phrase among
the comfortable classes that poverty Is
not crime. Like most cant phrases,
IL Is a lie. Poverty is crime, or the
world would not punish It so severely.
Any man who has been poor--I do not
mean lizard up or short Of money,
but actually poor, and born among the
poor, as / was-has something OF the
resentment felt by man who has
been in prison. For he has suffered
as much as any man who commits
serious crime against society. But
with the difference that he does not
know what offense he has committed.
I received the first punishment early
In life, ard II was some time before
could discover that my offense was
poverty and humble birth. There Is
no relief for that suffering. SO long
as boys born among the poor dare to
have brains and fine feelings and
desire to escape from mean streets, 30
long they shall be made to pay the
price of their darlng.-Thomas Burke,

PeruUianS Kept Count
by Knots in String

Among the ancient Peruvlans there
was a system Of expressing thoughts
without pronounclng them or writing
them In language. This consisted In
method of INTERVIEWING strings and
tying various knots. II was called a
quipu, and was composed of one thick
head or top string, to which, mt GER
tain distances, thinner ones we're fas.
tened. The top string was much thick
or than the pendent strings, which
were fastened to II by single loop;
the knots were made In the pendent
strings and were single or manifold.
The length Of the strings varied. The
transverse or top string often meas
ured several yards, and sometimes
only foot. The branches of pendent
strings were seldom more than two
feet long, and In general they were
much shorter.
The strings were often of different
colors, each having Its own particular
Specification. The color for soldiers
was red; for gold, yellow; for silver,
white; for corn, green.
The qulpu was especially employed
for numerical ana statistical tables,
each single knot representing ten;
each double knot stood for 1907 each
triple knot for 1000, ETC.; two single
knots standing together made 20; and
two double knots, POO.
In this manner the ancient Peru
VANS kept tho accounts OF their army.
On one string were numbered the sol
dlers armed with sllngs; on another
the spearmen; on third, those who
carried clubs.
This method of calculation Is still
practiced by the shepherds of Puma.

First KnotOn Envelope
Is in British Museum

The first envelope of which there
is any knowledge inclosed a letter
sent May 10. 1905, by Sir william
Turnbull to Sir James Ogilvle. The
eplstle dealt with English affairs of
state, and, with Its covering, Is care
fully preserved in the British muse
um.
At that period, and long afterward,
1t was the general custom to fold let
tiers and seal them with waters of
wax. AS matter of fact, It is still
fashionable to use sealing wax on the
flaps Of envelopes. Many people now
living can remember the time when
the old method Of sealing was still in
use.
A reference to a "letter with an en-
velope" is found in poem written by
Dean Swift In 1925.
