reporter in Saturdays paper But

On one occasion the writer had pre-

100 copies of the paper. The make

Compared With Average OF
Whole of United States.
How Burden l. Distributed and Il
Cared for, Its Significance
Per Capita.
DEBTS OF COUNTY AND CITY

Washington. Oct. 30.-Statistics
recently published by the census bu-
rean show that the public debt OF
Kentucky Is less per capita of popu.
lation than the debts of over two.
thirds OF the states OF the union, II
being .$10.32 in 1902. as compared
with $23.72 for the whole United
States. s13.49 for Indiana and $15.7s
for Tennessee. The aggregate public
debt of Kentucky, including the obli'
cations of the state. its counties and
minor civil divisions in 1902 was
$22.74S,773, of which s2.19S.4S2
was state debt and s2O,55o,291 was
owed by the states various subdivi-
sions.
However, Kentucky's public debt
increased considerable since 1890.
being not quite $l5,O00,0O0 in that
year and nearly s1s.5oo, OO0 in 1890.
During the same period the per cap
tia Indebtedness of Kentucky rose
from $500. in 1880, to s10.4G ten
years later, and then re.i cents In
the succeeding IL years. while the
aggregate Indebtedness of the state
was steadily increasing, was due to
the growth of the states population.
which was estimated by the United
States census bureau to be 2,204.SS2
on June l. 1902.
The public debt bulletin further
shows that all the Kentucky state
debt was funded and that the state
had sinking fund assets in 1902
amounting to s32t. 5.S will thus
be seen that Kentucky's per capita
state debt, less sinking fund assets
in 1909. on the basis of population
stated above was only 81. as compar-
ed with 80 cents in 1890 and sc
cents in 1880.
Taking up the Indebtedness of
counties and minor civil divisions in
tnt oo1tCs INC ttHruo ouONo
that of the total Indebtedness of
this character in Kentucky in 1902,
the counties, after deducting sinking
fund assets. owed s5,147,7S4; cities,
villages, townships, precincts. etc.
owed s15.2s7s1S, and school dis
tricts over s1o4.6s9. Comparing the
Indebtedness of Kentucky's counties
and minor civil divisions in 1902
with what they were in previous
years, II is shown that the total four
years ago had increased to over $780,
100000 from s17,761,752 in 1890.
and s13,sss,O25 ten years before.
The per capita Indebtedness OF coun-
ties and minor civil divisions in the
state increased from ss.42 in 1880
to 1886 in 1890, and then decreased
10 1892 in 1902.

Engine Smaller Than a FLY.

Tiny Tim is the name of the
smallest engine in the world. 1t
Is made of gold and steel and it
weighs just 4 grains complete.
The engine bed and stand are
of gold. The shaft runs in hard.
ened and ground steel bearings in.
serted in the gold bed.
These bearings are counter
bored from the inside to form a
self-oiling bearing. The fly wheel
has a stee! center and arms, with
a gold rim, and this part, the
complete wheel, weighs a grain.
The cylinder is of steel with &C.
tagonal base highly polished. The
stroke is 1872 of an inch; bore,
3-1OO of an inch. Seventeen pieces
are used in the construction of
this engine.
The fed is through the gold
base, which is hollow, The speed
of this engine is 5000 revolutions
per minute. When running 100
per second no motion Is visible to
the eye, but it makes a note like
the noise of a mosquito, caused
by the vibrating piston rod.
The horsepower is 1-49S, 900 of
one horsepower. Compressed air
is used to run it; and it may be
of interest to note that the amount
required to make it hum can east
ly be borne on the eyeball with
out winking.-Technical World.
