ever showed himself more
ready than Franklin to do
things for others. He inven-

hut he refused to take out a
patent for it, glad of an op-
portunlty to serve his neigh

Frmkhn's was the beginning
of the american stoye trade

first fire company in Phila-

started n philosophical So
ciety, and he took the lead
in setting on foot an acad-
emy, which still survives as
the University of ,Pennsylva-
mia. While he was doing
things for others, others did
things for him. and he was
made clerk of the General As
se1nbly in 1886 and Postmas
ter of Philadelphia in 1887.
In 1850 he was elected a
men.her0 OF the Assembly. and
in 1853 he vas made Post
master General for all the
Colonies. In 174S he had re-
tired from business, having
50 fitted his practice to his
preaching that he had gained
a competency when only for
ty two years old.
The leisure thus acquired
he used in the study OF cleo
trical science then in it's in

all that was known, and then
he made new experiments
with his wonted ingenuity.
He was the first to declare
the identity ofelectricity with

words, that the President of
Hawaii was glad that he had
been able to demonstrate to
the world his ability to put
down Il revolt without the
moral support which the
presence of IL foreign war YES
