In the death Of John Taylor Dick
inson county loses citizen whose
life and labors were an important fac
tor in the upbuilding of its domain.
Mr.. Taylor came here when there
were many who looked askance on
central Kansas. He showed his conf
dence in the prairies by investing his
wealth and demonstrated by the sue
cess he reaped that fortunes were to
be made II the right methods were
pursued. Further than that he had
wide influence among capitalists Of
the East because he always talked for
Kansas and backed up his words with
practical complication in his own
investments. He belonged to the
sturdy old school Of American man
hood and believed in plain living,
economy and thrift-the principles
by which he won his fortune and by
which he guided his affairs until
death. He leaves an honorable heri.
tage and life record Of upright and
vigorous deeds.

The inventors are busy vieing with
Marconi in the field OF wireless teleg-
raphy. The last number Of the Liter
airy Digest notes the invention Of an
electrical buoy intended to hold Mar
conf transmitter which will notify ap-
preaching vessels having suitable re-
ceivers of their situation. At Chica-
60 some highly interesting expert
ments has been made. Two invent
ors, so the account says, succeeded
in telegraphing without wires through
suite OF 7 rooms, with all doors
closed, and through 7 walls. Another
test was made, when the signals were
conveyed through three freprocf
vaults and an ordinary telegraph
switchboard, in which thirty wires
were connected up and about forty
dead wires were located. Notwith.
standing the fact that this switch
board contained live wires, the cur
rent passed through all Of the vaults
and through this board. This prob.
ably is the most severe test ever given
wireless telegraphy. A third test
was made, in which the sending in.
strument was placed inside Of one Of
the steel vaults and both doors were
closed and the combination lock
turned. The signals were then
transmitted clearly from the inside
Of the vault to an adjoining room"

How shall we write 1900 in Roman
lettersP 1t has been fairly generally
admitted that two ways are correct
namely, MDCCCC. and MCM.-and
that the latter is preferable. Now q
correspondent maintains that neither
Of these are legitimate. He says:
"The year 1900 should be written
MDCD. One important principle Of
the Roman system is that the most
valuable digit is placed first, and
then others as much as possible Of
gradual decreasing value, till the re-
quired number is complete. Thus,
MDCLVI. for 1861 Another is that
four similar digits shall not follow
each each other. The exception to
this latter rule which Is found on the
face Of watch is, as is well known,
Of merely medieval origin. Now, as
the number which we desire to write
is 1900, we commence with MD. To
account for the remaining 400 we
must accordingly resort to the device
Of placing a detracting digit before
digit representing exactly that
much more than the required value,
in this instance hundred, Our 400
is, therefore, expressed by CD. and
the entire 1900 is shown as MDCD. -
