How Perupiana Devised - System of Enumeration
Most persons are familiar with representatives of the hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptians. By means of the engraved marks found. on the monuments and other records the old Egyptians could represent object ideas suggested by objects, and even sounds. This signifying of sounds by means of symbols formed nearly a true alphabet. In Mexico the Aztecs had a crude system of picture writing by which sensible objJects could be accurately depicted, but beyond that it could not go, for it was incompetent to convey -abstract ideas. Possibly the crudest invention of this sort was the mysterlous science of the quipus, which was taught the Peruvian princes by thelr amautas, or, “wise men.” While both systems before mentioned seemed primitive, this one I 8 even more sO, and yet it served a purpose, and a very good one, too. This quipus was ‘a string of rope, usually about two feet In length, 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 to the device its name, for the word quipus signifies a ‘“knot.” The colors represented sensible obJects. For exampld, white might stand for silver, and yellow for gold. Occaslonally they suggested ideas abstractly—white signified peace and red war. The chief use of the quipus was for arithmetical purposes. Thé knots took the place of ciphers and could be combined to represent numbers to any amount desired. The colors of the ‘strings explained the subjects to which the numbers referred, and in this way the Peruvians devised a complete system of enumeration.
Tree Struck by Meteor * Burned for Three Weeks James Fowler of Springfield, Mass., is responsible for the revival of the tale of the “Burning Elm” of Willlamstown. This tree was on his father's farm, and probably had been when Columbus first sailed westward, for the elm was 27 feet around and its first limb was 105 feet from the ground. : . ' On August 4, 1892, it was supposedly struck by lightning, but in reality by a meteor. F¥or three months it smoldered sullenly or yehemently untii November .4, the night Grover Cleveland was elected president of the United States, when it burst into a celumn of fire, sending out from Ats base streams of what appeared to be molten lava. : T The green wood of the tree had resisted the progréss of the hot mass of metal through it for three ‘months, though its limbs fell and there was nothing left but: the stump, 105 feet high. When the fire reached the base and created a draft, it' burst into flame at such a time that the neighboring farmers were jokingly - sure that they were celebrating the election of Cleveland,—New York World. Apples Once Grew Wild Apples; as we know them today, in ancient times grew wild in parts of Europe and Asia, and thelir cultivation began in Europe centuries ago, but it remained for Americans to make the greatest progress in this direction.
One of the first of these benefactors ‘was Loammi Baldwin. While prominent in his capacity as an engineer, he would long since ‘have been forgotten except for his horticultural experiments, which resulted in the production of the famous apple which bears his name. : The United States now produces the bulk of the world's apple crop and Canada adds to North American supremacy. The European belt extends from Norway to southern France. The fruit 1s also cultivated in New Zealand, Tasmania and other countries.—Detroit News. . Would Drop Off A man called upon his medical adviser and sald: “Doctor, I can’t get to sleep at night.” “Insomnia, eh?’ - : : “That’s it,”’ asserted the patient. “There are ways and means of combating - that,” declared the doctor. “You think you are hopelessly wakeful, but mental effort has a great deal to do with getting you to sleep. Just imagine you are walking a tight rope a thousand feet from the ground. Step by step you advance on this tight rope.” - ' “Yes?” the patient inquired, “You'll soon drop of?.” ¥
