This la an achievement which has sel

and Philadelphia will offer a tardy tribute
to tho Inventive eenlus of the Printer
Philosopher next week, more than 110
years after he announced the working
principles of the llrst stove. In connec
tion with National Gas Range Week,
which opens In this city on Monday, gas
and stove manufacturers throughout the
country will Join In a movement to erect
a tablet In Franklin Institute to proclaim
to the world that Franklin lound time tu
Invent the original American stove, which
was the forerunner ot all the modern ap
pliances In use throughout tho country
today,
Gas Range Week has become a national
movement. From tho Atlantic to tho
Pacific next week It will be observed with
appropriate exercises by gas range manu
facturers In every largo cltj, and It Is
expected that a large sum will be con
tributed In the hope of making the tribute
to the Inventor of the stote notable.
PLANS FOR THE MEMORIAL.
The suggestion for the proposed memo
rial was made last year by Charles Farn
ham, advertising manager of the National
Stove Company, of Loraine, Ohio. In a
letter received today he calls attention
to the fact that until Franklin's Inven
tion all heating and cooking were, done
by means of fireplaces. Yet of all his
acts, Mr. Farnham points out, little of
his revolutionary Invention Is known Mr.
Farnham suggests a simple memorial
monument In keeping with tho sentiment
ot the historic philosopher.
This would carry out the Idea In the
opinion of Mr. Farnham, who also urges
that some mention be made of the fact
that Franklin made a public gift ot his
Invention. The monument, he believes,
should carry on the back wall a bas relief
of Franklin and his stove Bronze tablets
should be utilized to tell the story of hts
Invention, with stone- benches and a roof
to carry the Idea of shelter, comfort and
repose.
While some of theso Ideas may be car
ried out, a largo majority of tho manu
facturers Interested in the project prefer
a bronze tablet In Franklin Institute
Tentative plans for this have beon con
sidered, which call for an unpretentious
slab depleting a woman cooking befoie
the crude forerunner of the stoves utilized
by the modern housewife of today,
Clarence Roberts, president of the Rob
ert Mandcr Stove Compan and one of
the directors of the National Commercial
Gas Association, has conferred In connec
tion with the projected memorial with
Walton Clark, president of Franklin In
stitute. Mr Clark Is In favor of the
establishment of a permanent "Franklin
Stove Scholarship" for the evening
classes of the Franklin Institute
ANCIDNT BOOK TELLS STORY.
Mr. Clark resurrected a book from
Franklin's pen as Ilttlo known as his
historic Invention, which tho volume d
scrlbea in the quaint language and tpo
of the time It came from the printers.
This book was first published In Phila
delphia In 1715 The tltlo is "Experiments
and Observations on Electricity."
The portion devoted to the description
of the new Invention reads as follows
"An account ot the new Invented Penn
sylvanlan fireplaces, wherein their con
struction nnd manner of operation Is
particularly explained; their advantages
above etcry other method of warming
rooms demonstrated, and all objections
that have been raised against the use
ot them, answered and obviated, with
directions for putting them up and for
using them to tho best advantage, and
a copper plate, in which the several parts
of the machine are exactly laid down
from a scale of equal parts, first printed
at Philadelphia, In 1745."
FRANKLIN EXPLAINS INVENTION.
In the pages devoted to a description
of his Invention, Franklin shows that he
had made an exhaustive study of the
principles of combustion, and gives In
dications of halng discovered some of
the theories which subsequently resulted
In the Invention and development of
modern superheated boilers. To a mod
ern reader the diagrams he furnished
with the pages prove slightly mystifying,
but his stove was flawless for the time
According to historians, the now Inven
tion quickly replaced fireplaces when
the astounded early Colonials were con
vinced ot Its practicability. It became
the forerunner of the modern stove, nnd
was the first successful one of the kind
used In America satisfactorily, as "a
heating appliance setting away from the
wall as a unit by itself."
A significant prophecy In the light ot
modern developments Is made by the
noted Inventor In the pages of his
volume as follows: "By the help of this
saving Invention, our wood may grow
as fast ns we consume It, and our pos
terity may warm themselves at a mod
erate rate without being obliged to
fetch their fuel over the Atlantlck, as If
pit coal should not be discovered (which
If an uncertainty, they must necessarily
do."
Franklin's book and explanations rela
tive to erecting the stove go Into the
principles of his Invention. They describe
a stove having for Its main principle an
air chamber. By an Ingenious number of
passages this Is kept free from smoke,
and for the first time utilizes the radia
tion of a Are from every point. The
stove possessed two top plates through
which most of the heated air came and
quickly displaced the open. hearth Are In
popularity for cooking.
A, false back erected In the fireplace,
lessened the effect of the draft of the
big chlmnea in vogue at the time, while
a passage underneath the stove allowed
for the Ingress o fresh air The Inven
tor In his description holds out as one
of the most notable features of his stove
the fact that the room wherein It was lo
cated was kept free from bad air. House
holders of that age were probably
astounded at his naive announcement
that the "fire would remain lit all night
without rekindling In the morning."
Among the most interesting passages
of Franklin's published claims for his
Inventions were the following:
"Heat may be separated from the smoke
aa well aa from the light by means of a
plate of iron (the flret stove lid) 'which
will suffer heat to pass through it with
out the others."
'I suppose our ancesters never thought
of warming rooms to sit In, all they pur
posed was tp have a, place to make a (Ire
IB by which they might worm themselves
When cold "
"To avoid the several Inconveniences at
the same time retain alt the advantages
of other fireplaces was contrived the
Pennsylvania fireplace now to be de
scribed." lMneefan Club Settles for Properly
