at Central City last Friday after
noon. For some time he had been
in failing health. and his mind be
came affected, resulting in spells of
melancholia. He was never violent,
but his wife and daughter kept him
under observation. lie was prepar-
ing to 60 down town, and had been
in conversation with his family; leav
ing the house he walked toward the
well, und his daughter observed his
actions, reaching him just as he
made the Jump. She caught him
by the feet and held him for short
while, but he struggled from her
grasp and fell. Hep arrived at
once, and the body was quickly
recovered, but death followed in
about an hour, Richardson never
regaining consciousness.
There were few better known men
in Muhlanberg than oe Richardson,
and none had more friends. He
married Miss Jennie Morgan IN
1871, and has resided here most of
his married life. The people of the
county honored him by election to
the Legislature, twice he has served
as doorkceper in the State Senate.
For some years he lived in Daviess
county, and was Assessor for some
terms. He was a school teacher,
and has been an inspiration to many
men and women who are now
prominent.
Joe Richardson was a soldier, a
a member of the Orphan Brigade,
and lost an arm in the battle OF
Shiloh. This disability did not
dcpress him, and his industry, good
humor and general aflability drew
friends from all quarters.

ONE of the chief difficulties in ily-
ing over the desert. that of guild
ance, bids fair TO be greatly lessen
ed, if not entirely obviated, by a
recent discovery of Signor Marconi,
a discovery which was, in fact, only
announced recently. / he inventor,
u pom mis- return from a professional
visit of observation to Tripo!i, an
nounced that in sending wireless
messages across the desert, no
poles or masts are needed. 1t is
only necessary to lay the wires
along the sand for a short distance
in the direction in which the mess
age is 10 he sent, and the apparatus
performs its functions as perfectly
as usual, if not better than before.
This is due to the complete dryness
and non-conducuvity of the sand.
1t is said, moreover, that under
these circumstances messages can
not be intercepted. The advan-
tsges are obvious, especially for
military use. The discarding of
the masts means an immediate
saving IN bulk aud weight, since
the rest of the apparatus can be
packed in a comparatively small
case; consequently transportation is
tremendously facilitated. Further
more, the chief difficulty of install,
alton consists in the erection of the
masts, while they also constitute al
once a target and means of betrayal
to the enemy. From these consider
aticns il is clear that the lucky dis
coyery that they may be dispensed
with Will greatly facilitate the appli-
cation of wireless telegraphy tc

PRoLoMoIHo LIFE Of POSTS
Cheapest and Most EmsctIvs sub
stance for Preserving Wood Has
Been Found In crsosots.
(By J. a. rERoueoN.l

(By J. A. rERGUsON)
The most effective method Of pro
serving fence posts IL to thoroughly
impregnate the outer layers Of the
wood with some substance that will
poison the wood and deprive the
fungus plant, which destroys the
posts. of its food.
Many substances have been used
for this purpose, but the cheapest and
most effective Is creosote, or dead
oil of coal tar, formed as a by-product
In the manufacture of coal gas. 1t ID
not only poisonous to the fungus
plant, but being an oil, 1t also tends
to exclude moisture from the wood.
The. treatment Is best carried out
by the so-called open tank method"
Thoroughly seasoned posts are heated
for several hours In hot creosote and
then allowed to cool down In cold
creosote.
When the posts are heated in hot
creosote the high temperature causes
the air and water In the wood to ex-
pand so that portion of this air and
water is forced out. When the posts
are then placed In cold creosote, the
air and water left in the wood con-
tract, forming partial vacuum; and
