modern PrometheuS, bringing the Ce-
leStial fire down to mortal4, there were
accompanying it little human lightning
flashes revealing the character of his

Despite his modeSty this achievement
at once made benjamin Franklin one
of the most iIluStriOus men of his age.
He was elected Il member of the Royal
society and other learned bodies of Eu-
rope, was given doctors degrees by
Harvard, Yale and other universities,

feeling OF half amused contempt, and
he was the lion of the hour both at

the Revolution, pseudo scientist
named Wilson convinced his majesty
