Joseph Priestley died today – 204 years ago

Chemist (think: oxygen gas) Joseph Priestley was born on March 13, 1733 in Bristall Fieldhead, West Yorkshire, England. He said, “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate." [But he hadn’t seen the cell phone... Oh, wait a minute. Talking is not necessarily communicating.]... Mr. Priestley died on February 6, 1804 in Northumberland, Pennsylvania.
