things that seemed more worthwhile.What he really cared for most of all was science.,home,next,up,14/41,5,Franklin was always trying to answer the question,What makes things act the way they do?At that time learned men,were puzzled about,electricity.They wondered whether it was,in some way,like the lightning in a thunderstorm.It might be,but how could you prove it?You know how Ben Franklin proved it-by,coaxing,some electricity down his kite string.That act made him famous in America and Europe.But of course Franklin did not stop here.He found a way to make the knowledge useful:he

just as the Revolutionary War began,arriving in time to sign the Declaration of Independence.,home,next,up,17/41,8,He was now seventy years old,and his health was not good.He would gladly have,settled down,at home.But America needed help from France to carry on the war,and she asked Dr.Franklin to win his help.He answered,I am like a worn-out piece of carpet.If there is one corner left which can be useful to my country,I will,be honored,.,home,next,up,18/41,9,His first step was to,turn over,all his money as a loan to Congress.He wanted to prove his faith in the new American government and encourage others to support it.Then he,set sail for,France.,home,next,up,19/41,10,In Paris,Franklin was warmly welcomed.Although he was a simple man,he was a shrewd diplomat.He spoke very poor French,but he always chose the right words for the occasion.He finally persuaded King Louis of France to,declare war on,England.That was an important achievement.,It was,only with the aid of the French fleet,that,Washington was able to win the war and American independence.,home,next,up,20/41,11,Benjamin Franklin returned to America.He was very old now,and in poor health.But still he did not settle down and retire to his comfortable home.He sat through the long arguments,on the terms of,the Constitution.Twice,the meetings would have failed if he had not helped the delegates to agree.,home,next,up,21/41,12,Ben Franklin died in 1790 at the age of eighty-four.He had spent all his adult life helping people.Years before,he had told his mother that that was his aim.When he died
