Ben Franklin and the Lightning.

The celebrated experiment OF Benjamin
Franklin, by which he demonstrated the
identity of lightning and the common cleo
trio spark, was performed by him in June,
1862, ut Philadelphia, Pa. Having made
a cross-stick kite, he covered it with silk
handkerchief instead of paper, so that it
would stand rain, attached tail, &c. The
upper end of the cross had an iron point,
connected by a string to the usual kite cord,
which was of hemp. So the lower end of
the cord an iron key was attached and to
that short length of silk ribbon, as q
non-conductor, by which the kite string
could be safely held in the hand. On the
approach of thunder storm he proceeded
to common near the city, and. with the
assistance of his son, sent up the kite. Ere
long the thunder cloud approached, the
electricity came down the kite string, and
Franklin, standing under shed received
electric sparks through hisknuckles which
he applied to the key, and charged his
Leyden jar by putting his conductors in
contact with the key. The rain then fell,
which improved the conductivity of the
kite cord, and the electricity appeared in
increased quantity.
The news of this wonderful experiment
rapidly spread over the world, and was
extensively repeated. In France, Professor
Romas made a kite seven feet high, with o
fine wire interviewer in the string. The
kite was raised five hundred and fifty feet
and is alleged to have yielded flashes of
electric fire ten feet in length. In st.
Petersburg, Professor Richman, while at
tempting to repeat Franklin's experiment,
received SO heavy a charge of electricity
that he fell dead. This was in 1903.
