cent between 1902 and 1913, and the
per capital net debt by IS per cent.
The only two states in which the
per capita state debt In 1913 exceeded
the per capita national debt were
Massachusetts,, with net debt OF
$79, ISL, 900, or SEATS per capita, and
Arizona. with $3,O65,OO0. or $13.2S per
capita. In these states, however, the
large per capita debt is due principal
ly not to the state debt proper but
to the considerable amount of con-
tingent debt assumed by the state IN
the name OF the metropolitan districts
in Massachusetts, and the counties
and municipalities in Arizona.
The total county debt in 1913
amounted to 93,207 900, Of which
amount $371, 52S, 900, or $4.33 per cap
tia, was net debt. The net indebted
ness increased by SO per cent between
1902 and 1913, and the per capita net
Indebtedness by IS per cent.
BY far the greatest item of indebt.
edness in this country is that of mu-
inequalities. This amounted In 1913
to an aggregate Of $3,460.000,000, OF
which $2,ss4,sS3,O00, Of $54.27 per
capita, represented net Indebtedness.
The rate Of increase in net indebt-
edness between 1902 and 1913 was ia
per cent.
The total levies of taxes on real
estate, personal property and other
property subject to ad valorem taxa
ton. by states, counties. municipali.
ties, school districts, and other civil
divisions. increased from $724,737 900.
or 1922 per capita, in 1902 to $1,349,-
$4,000, or 1891 per capita, in 1912,
the percentages of increase being &c
for the total amount and 81 for the
per capita.
Levies for state purposes increased
from $S0,402,000 in 1902 to $155,643.-
900 in 1912, or by 81 per cent. During
the same period the levies by coun-
ties, municipalities, school districts,
ETC., increased from $644,335,00O to
$1.1s4,253,0OO, or by "a per cent, The
county levies In 1912 were 1888 $780,
900, and those Of municipalities,
school districts, and other minor civil
divisions amounted to 1896, 1921 900.
Thus it appears that an increase Of
rs per cent in years-indicating q
gain of lis per cent in II years
in national wealth has been accom-
panied by an Increase, during II
years, Of 6 per cent in net federal in
debtedness, AS per cent in net state
Indebtedness, SO per cent in net coun-
ty indebtedness. and ia per cent in
net municipal indebtedness. In con-
nection with the growth In munich
pal indebtedness, however, 1t should
be borne In mind that the proportion
which urban population represented
Of the total was materially greater In

Windmill That Is Not at the

When the wind strikes surface IN
clined at an angle to the direction OF
the wind the latter tends to displace
the surface in a direction that de-
ponds upon the degree Of inclination
Upon this well-known principle sail
boats, windmills and aeroplanes are
built. When the wind comes in q
Numerically opposite direction-that
is to say, strikes the surface on the
ather side-it tends to displace 1t IN
the opposite direction. 1t would
seem, then, to be impossible so to
place a surface that it shall always
move In the same direction, no matter
whence the wind that moves it comes.
A French windmill maker has. how
ever, succeeded in solving this appa-
rent paradox, and his device is de-
scribed in detail by R. Villers IN La
Nature. He makes horizontal wind
mill with perpendicular vanes and
axis revolved by the vanes without
gearing
The wind is utilized going and COM

inclined the power produced by this
strange windmill Is quite high. and the
wind that reaches nine-tenths OF the
wheels diameter is set to work, no

delivers one, complete, in France, with
mounting, pipes. pump, ETC.. for 500
francs. or about 1920.

on it's axle by pulleys, and the upper
socket is self!lubricated from COW

The turning wheel operates the
pumps through an eccentric at the
