Benjamin Franklin was one of the
most earnest and tireless of scientists
His discoveries are classed among the
most remarkable Of the age. They were
as extensive and brilliant as they were
deep and mysterious. He outran the
most celebrated English electricians in
the race for new discoveries. He gave
form and dignity to the science of cleo.
tricity, and raised the science to q high
rank among the most useful and distin.
.guished, and also gave 1t phnosophic
standing second to none of the discover.
les of tho Eighteenth century. To Ben.
jamin Franklin are due many of the
most useful discoveries in electricity.
His clear eyes Of prophecy saw the glo-
rious triumph of his favorite science,
and somewhere he may be watching the
grand illuminations resulting from hi.
successful efforts in bottling fash Of
lightning. he was the first man Il
succeed in imprisoning the mysteriou:
