propOunded the theory that electricity
would take life and had himself been
shocked into insensibility ana nearly
killed in former experiment But,
though he knew the hazard. he faced it
so calmly as to suggest that he had
never thought of ii.
The second circumstance was his
calm deliberation about giving the re-
suits of his investigation to the world
He waited three months. Then a very
short letter appeared in a London mag
aZine reciting not that he had made
the experiment. but merely that il had
been made in Philadelphia, and signed
by the modest initials "B. F." That
was all-no hint of Boosting or -four
ish of trumpets. 1t is real greatness
that can afford to be humble
The last thing connected with that
world illuminating experiment was that
Franklin was assisted in making it by
his son William, which is q story In
itself. For William Franklin was a
natural son, born out of wedlock
He was the fruit of the philosophers
early indiscretion. But like a man
Benjamin Franklin acknowledged the
fault to the world. He took the boy to
his home, raised him, educated him in
the best schools of the time, took him
to Europe and introduced him every.
where as his son and had him appoint
ed colonial governor of New Jersey.
The boy afterward turned Tory, bat
that was no fault of the father. So,
while the lightning flashed for this
modern Prometheus, bringing the ce-
lestial fire down to mortals, there were

mankind. As printer he was a
shrewd business man and made money
sufficient to lay aside a comfortable
fortune for old age. In science he gave
the world his best without money and
without price.
From his earliest boyhood Franklin
had shown a genius for invention. One
of his first eontrivances consisted of
paddles on his hands and flaps on his
feet to aid him in swimming. Later he
SO arranged a kite that 1t pulled him
through the water. This was not the
only kite with which he experimental.
but it was the first. The one he used
to coax the lightning on to string
came some thirty years later. This was
the famous kite that is destined TO fly
down the ages, carrying Franklin's
name with IL. The early one only car
ried his body across pond.
Franklin made an extensive study of
fireplaces and drafts. doubtless occa-
stoned by the fact than ON one of the
coolest mornings of winter his fire fail
ed 10 draw. Then he observed that
about three-fourths of the fuel was
wasted, and this was a sorrow to his
economical soul. The upshot was that
he wrote an essay on drafts that is an
authority even unto this day and in
vented stove which was used extern
sively in the colonies and even in Eu-
rope, which was still on deck in the
memory of people now living and
which made very snug amount Of
m0ney-for the manufacturers This
Frunklin stove was patented in Eng
land, but not by the inventor. The
man who starts some new thing for
the benefit of the race may get the
glory for it and does not always re-
ceiye even that, but some one who does
not know enough to invent a mouse

Despite his modesty this achievement
at once made Benjamin Franklin one
OF the most iIlustrious men of his age.
He was elected q member of the Royal
society and other learned bodies OF Eu-
rope, was given doctors degrees by
Harvard. Yale and other universities.
which, by the way, he regarded with
feeling of half amused contempt. and
he was the lion of the hour both at
home and abroad.
Such vogue had the lightning rod
that the king had rods placed upon his
palace. Then, when Franklin went
with the colonies at the approach Of
the Revolution, a pseudo scientist
named Wilson convinced his majesty
that he should have rods topped with
balls. Anent this there was piece OF
punning doggerel that had quite
vogue at the time. One stanza OF it ran
like this: ,. 5000 ..4 .r--

He did this because he could afford
nothing better. Yet he let an English
frm of stovemakers get rich out of
one of his inventions Or maybe he
couldn't help himself At any rate
they got the profits-and oblivion
while he ate bread and milk and is
now one Of the immortals.
1t was Franklin who discovered that
northeast storms start in the southwest,
which created quite n stir in his day
He also contrived some improvements
for ships. He crossed the ocean sew
eral times and probably noticed that
there was room for improvement. He
also discovered that waves may be qui
eted by pouring oil upon them, an idea
that only now is being put to practical
account. 1t Is not on record that he
also invented the phrase about pouring
oil on the troubled waters but he made
so many other phrases that 1t would
not be surprising If he were found to
have been the author of this. He is ac-
cused Of even more heinous things. For
of the first humorists in America.
But Franklin's supreme contribution
to science was In the field OF electricity
So thoroughly did he identify himself
with the first development of electrical
knowledge and so fully did he succeed
in bringing that knowledge to the
masses of the people that future ages
will probably regard him as the prac-
teal discOverer of this marvellous force.
1t was in 114S that Franklin, having
laid by a competence. sold his paper,
almanac and printing plant and re-
solved to devote the rest of his life to
research and study. He had already
become interested in the almost I'M
vented his magic picture animated
fish, and other electrical contrivances
to amuse the curious. He had also as
sisted in inventing an electric motor.
perhaps the first ever made. He had
shown that the mysterious fluid, as it
was then called, could be drawn off
by sharp metal points and had pro-
pounded his startling theory that light
ming and electricity are one and that
therefore buildings might be protected
by sharp pointed rods, suggestion
that was laughed at in England. but
was taker up by the celebrated Button
in France and resulted in the lightning
rod.
1t was then that the kite experiment
came. This kite was constructed out
of his silk handkerchief, attached to
which was pointed wire. The re
suit probably had the most profound
effect on the popular mind of any sci
entific experiment ever made.
