Benjamin Franklin's Essay on Daylight Saving Letter to the Editor of the Journal of Paris, To THE AUTHORS of The Journal of Paris MESSIEURS, You often entertain us with accounts of new discoveries. Permit me to communicate to the public, through your paper, one that has lately been made by myself, and which I conceive may be of great utility. I was the other evening in a grand company, where the new lamp of Messrs. Quinquet and Lange was introduced, and much admired for its splendour; but a general inquiry was made, whether the oil it consumed was not in proportion to the light it afforded, in which case there would be no saving in the use of it. No one present could satisfy us in that point, which all agreed ought to be known, it being a very desirable thing to lessen, if possible, the expense of lighting our apartments, when every other article of family expense was so much augmented. I was pleased to see this general concern for economy, for I love economy exceedingly. I went home, and to bed, three or four hours after midnight, with my head full of the subject. An accidental sudden noise waked me about six in the morning, when I was surprised to find my room filled with light; and I imagined at first, that a number of those lamps had been brought into it; but, rubbing my eyes, I perceived the light came in at the windows. I got up and looked out to see what might be the occasion of it, when I saw the sun just rising above the horizon, from whence he poured his rays plentifully into my chamber, my domestic having negligently omitted, the preceding evening, to close the shutters.

Support the Archives The Founding Fathers: Pennsylvania George Clymer, Pennsylvania Clymer was orphaned in 1740, only a year after his birth in Philadelphia. A wealthy uncle reared and informally educated him and advanced him from clerk to full-fledged partner in his mercantile firm, which on his death he bequeathed to his ward. Later Clymer merged operations with the Merediths, a prominent business family, and cemented the relationship by marrying his senior partner's daughter, Elizabeth, in 1765. Motivated at least partly by the impact of British economic restrictions on his business, Clymer early adopted the Revolutionary cause and was one of the first to recommend independence. He attended patriotic meetings, served on the Pennsylvania council of safety, and in 1773 headed a committee that forced the resignation of Philadelphia tea consignees appointed by Britain under the Tea Act. Inevitably, in light of his economic background, he channeled his energies into financial matters. In 1775-76 he acted as one of the first two Continental treasurers, even personally underwriting the war by exchanging all his own specie for Continental currency.

document.writeln(AAMB7); advanced search ADVERTISING JOBS ... Past issues articles Benjamin Franklin, Civic Scientist That early American prototype of a civic scientist would probably address many of today's concerns with wisdom, practicality, and a deep sense of civic responsibility. Neal Lane October 2003 , page A scientist and a civic-minded activist, Benjamin Franklin called upon his scientific intuition and skills to address broad societal questions at the time the US was founded. He was in many ways a model of a civic scientist, a term I have often used in the past, perhaps without adequately defining it. To me, a civic scientist is one who uses his or her special scientific knowledge and skills to influence policy and inform the public. In this article, with Franklin's help, I expand that definition. Franklin This portrait of Franklin offers guidance and significance for the work of today's scientists, particularly as we seek to advise government in the ever optimistic hope of informing sound public policy and as we work to raise the American public's level of understanding of science and technology. We can learn much, I believe, from Franklin's scientific accomplishments and disposition combined with his exemplary sense of the responsibilities of citizenship. As an Oklahoman, I have a tendency to cite the wisdom and humor of that great American cowboy-philosopher, Will Rogers. He was not a scientist, but he probably shared many of Franklin's views about politics and civic responsibility. For example, Rogers once had this to say about leadership: "If you're rid'n ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and again and see if it's still there." And about American partisan politics, he said, "I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat." Frankly, Rogers could have uttered those words today.

Benjamin's tastes had at first been for the sea rather than the pulpit; now they inclined rather to intellectual than to other pleasures. At an early age he had made himself familiar with The Pilgrim's Progress , with John Locke On the Human Understanding , and with a volume of The Spectator . Thanks to his father's excellent advice, he gave up writing doggerel verse (much of which had been printed by his brother and sold on the streets) and turned to prose composition. His success in reproducing articles he had read in The Spectator led him to write an article for his brother's paper, which he slipped under the door of the printing shop with no name attached, and which was printed and attracted some attention. After repeated successes of the same sort Benjamin threw off his disguise and contributed regularly to the

Franklin's Kite Probably the most famous experiment to do with lightning is that of Benjamin Franklin and his famous kite. What Franklin was investigating was whether or not lightning was an electric phenomenon. This seems fairly obvious to most of us today, but we must remember that in Franklin's day the largest sparks they could make were under an inch long! Since lightning is several miles long it is not so obvious that they can be the same. The question often arises whether or not Franklin actually did this experiment, and the answer is we do not know for sure. One thing, however, is certain: if he did do an experiment like this, he did not do it the way it is often shown. That is, he didn't tie a key to the kite string, fly it in a thunderstorm, and wait for it to be struck by lightning! Such an experiment would be very dramaticand quite fatal. There are safe ways to do similar things, however, and Franklin, in his various writtings, shows that he was quite aware of both the dangers and the alternatives. Franklin realized that if lightning was electricity, then it must be an awful lot of the stuff, and that it must take a long time to amass in the storm. Therefore, he suggested, fly the kite early in the storm before the lightning comes near you.

Poor Richard's Energy Almanac How do you do? My name is Ben...Benjamin Franklin. I lived back in the 1700s and helped write America's Declaration of Independence. You may have heard that I "discovered" electricity by flying a kite during a rainstorm. Well, that isn't really true...a great deal was already known about electricity before I came along. But my experiments taught the world some new things about how electricity works. It's partly because of me that you have electric lights, TVs, washing machines, computers and thousands of other things that make your life more comfortable and interesting. But all those things use energy. Back when I was living, around 250 years ago, we burned coal, oil and wood for our energy. Today, you have safer, cleaner and easier energy sources but many won't last forever. The most important thing you can discover about electricity and other kinds of energy is how to conserve them...to save them. That's why my friends at the California Energy Commission and I have put together this special issue of my famous publication Poor Richard's Almanac - - to let you know some important facts about energy conservation.
