In 1750, Benjamin Franklin published a proposal for an experiment to prove that lightning is electricity by flying a kite in a storm that appeared capable of becoming a lightning storm.

Originally part of Lancaster County ( 1729 ), then Cumberland County ( 1750 ), Franklin County became an independent jurisdiction on September 9, 1784, named in honor of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.

As early as 1750 Benjamin Franklin, in his article The Morals of Chess, has advocated such a view:

Franklin also included the occasional mathematical exercise, and the Almanack from 1750 features an early example of demographics.

In 1750 Bowdoin traveled to Philadelphia to meet with Franklin.

In 1750, Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia made a commercial blasting cap consisting of a paper tube full of black powder, with wires leading in both sides and wadding sealing up the ends.

This 2006 creation by P22 is based on the pages produced by Benjamin Franklin circa 1750.

In July 1750, Franklin hypothesized that electricity could be taken from clouds via a tall metal aerial with a sharp point.

Hasan Ikhfa Alizade in his work " Şuşa şeherinin tarixi ( The History of Shusha city )" pointed that construction of Shusha was started in 1750 by Panah Ali Khan and his opinion was supported by other Azerbaijani historians.

* Abraham Darby III ( 1750 – 1791 ) the third Abraham Darby, and involved in the building of the first iron bridge ever built

The first tall industrial furnace in the world for iron extracting, it has been argued, was built in 1750 in Topliţa near Hunedoara, and a later one in Govăşdia in 1806.

The availability of coal, iron ore and limestone at the heads of the South Wales valleys led to a number of ironworks being founded there between 1750 and 1800, including the Cyfarthfa, Plymouth and Dowlais works in the Merthyr Tydfil area.

Around 1750, the " England's Gazetteer " described Birmingham or Bromichan as " a large, well-built, and populous town, noted for the most ingenious artificers in boxes, buckles, buttons, and other iron and steel wares ; wherein such multitudes of people are employed that they are sent all over Europe ; and here is a continual noise of hammers, anvils, and files.

By 1750 ninety pastors had been sent back to France to work clandestinely ; this number would rise to four hundred.

Visits to this project, begun in 1750, would occupy the brothers every summer for the next ten years, and, along with works at many other barracks and forts, provided Robert with a solid foundation in practical building.

Factions would reconcile in 1750, however, when Keeneborough reunited with Brentwood.

Among the earliest settlers in the Tazewell area was John Hunt ( 1750 – 1822 ), a militia captain who would later be instrumental in the founding of Huntsville, Alabama.

March of the Guards to Finchley ( 1750 ), William Hogarth's satirical masterpiece, donated by the artist to the Foundling Hospital. The Committee Room, one of the original eighteenth century interiors, is the room where mothers intending to leave their babies would be interviewed for suitability.

By extrapolating from modern measurements, the date on which the mean solar day would have been exactly 86400 seconds long was about 1820, neatly in the middle of the data ( from 1750 – 1890 ) which Newcomb used to prepare his Tables.

This would correspond to between $ 1500 and $ 1750 per year for a family of five in Congo, although other factors such as income inequality and the citizen status of legionaries mean this figure is not perfectly accurate.

Louis Philippe d ' Orléans would see the birth of his grandchildren Louis Philippe ( 1747 – 1793 ) and Bathilde ( 1750 – 1822 ) who, during the French Revolution of 1789, would be known respectively as Philippe Égalité and Citoyenne Vérité.

Originally happy with the idea of being a simple attorney, after the death of his older brother it was instead assumed he would become a barrister, and Kenyon joined the Middle Temple in November 1750.

Once having pilfered the stone from its sacred home around 1750, perhaps after untold years of patient planning, the deserter fled to Madras ( now Chennai ) where he would find protection with the British Army, as well as a buyer.

The SS used a more stringent standard: In order to join, a candidate had to prove ( presumably, through baptismal records ) that all direct ancestors born since 1750 were not Jewish, or they would apply for a German Blood Certificate instead.

In 1750 the newly-ascended Joseph I ( believing that no sons would be forthcoming-and indeed, his wife and he produced no further issue after 1746, as we truly know with hindsight ) proclaimed his eldest daughter the official heiress and granted her the " crown-princely " title Princess of Brazil ( but apparently not that Duke of Braganza ).

The 4th Duke Ernest Frederick ( 1724 – 1800 ) was the last to be born in Saalfeld ; in 1764, he moved the capital from Saalfeld to Coburg, where in 1805 his son and heir Duke Francis ( 1750 – 1806 ) would buy Rosenau Castle as his residence.

Lambrick dismissed any astronomical significance as unlikely, because the Stone only aligns with the rising of the star Capella as it would have appeared circa 1750 BCE, and there is no evidence that late prehistoric Britons saw any relevance with this or any other stars, instead building several of their monuments to have solar or lunar alignments.

In 1737, the Russian government relocated a number of the Volga Cossacks to Astrakhan and formed a Cossack unit of 3 sotnyas, or 300 men, for escorting couriers and correspondence and for guard duty, which would be re-organized into the Astrakhan regiment ( 5 sotnyas, or 500 men ) on March 28, 1750.

After Caolo, present day Siargao, burned in 1750, Surigao became the capital of the expansive geopolitical, eclessiastical and military district of Surigao which reached the fringes of Davao and would include today's provinces of Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, parts of Compostela Valley, Misamis Oriental, Davao del Norte and Davao Oriental.

For in that case, it would be as if the law of value " dropped out of the air " sometime around 1750, which is hardly credible from a scientific point of view ; such an approach fails to explain the transition from simple commodity exchange to capitalist commodity exchange in a consistent way.

In 1750, Johann Meyer produced the first reliable set of lunar coordinates that would enable astronomers to locate features on the Moon.

Still Life with Glass Flask and Fruit, c. 1750 ( note reflected light on glass / silver )

ET, in turn, can now be seen ( in light of modern results ) as close to the average mean solar time between 1750 and 1890 ( centered on 1820 ), because that was the period during which the observations on which Newcomb's tables were based were performed.

The circumstances around the death of Tordenskiold was set in a conspirational light, as summed up in the contemporary three volume Tordenskiold biography ( 1747 – 1750 ) by C. P. Rothe.

) Taken together, these works constitute a coherent study of French literature and thought from 1750 to 1898, analyzing the spiritual predicament of modern France and shedding light on the literature of other Western nations as well as on contemporary problems of global civilization.
