THE WORK OF A GENIUS.
An Invention that is the Work ofFour
teen Years of Experimenting.

US6n cars Oh
Mr.. Philip F. Dillon, of No. 80 Taylor
street. has completed his model for a con-
tractile metallic mold, and has been granted
letters OF patent in the United States, Can
ada, England, Ireland, Scotland and the
Channel islands, and will also patent it in
Germany. France and Belgium.
Mr.. Dillon has been fer the past Is years,
and now is, b ass molder in the shops of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way in this city, and is man of inventive
genius He was Third Vice President of
the Iron Molders' Union of North America
in 1885, and has n mber of medals for
excellence in brass molding, from exhibits
here and elsewhere.
It was Mr.. Dillon who performed the I'M
paralleled feat Of molding cage containing
a live canary bird, and when the little fell
low died year and a half later, the cage
had to lie broken to get the bird out for the
taxidermist
Mr.. Dillon was found by a MORNING
NEWS reporter last night working in little
foundry that he has fixed up in the rear of
his house. He was using the contractile
mol making the zinc rings for galvanic
batteries Heretofore they have been
cast in sand requiring great labor, while
the sand, more or less of which cOmmingles
with the molten metal, renders the old style
ring much less valuable In fact they have
been discarded in Savannah, and Mr. Dill
Ions are now in general use. Chief Fire
man Fernandez says that they are better,
last longer, and are in every way prefera-
BILE to any other that he has ever used.
Mr.. Dillon's patent is a very simple thing
apparently, but be says it is the work of
fourteen years of patient experimenting,
in which he has had some very narrow
escapes. He experimental with glass as
well as with metals, and champagne
bottle. burst at one time and went through
the roof of his foundry with the velocity of
a bullet from a Winchester.
The expansion and contraction of the
present mold will permit him to make all
the standard castings for locomotives of
any metal required, the thing cast coming
out ready for use in other words, requiring
no polishing. The polishing of metals cast
in sand is necessary and expensive, and
this Mr.. Dillon's patent will obviate.
The expense of obtaining his patents
he has paid from the holdings
that he has made, after hours, in his little
foundry at home. His wife, who has taken
quite an interest in the invention cheerfully
aids him, and has become almost as ex-
pert in handling the ladle as her ingenious
and industrious husband. The invention
promises to revolutionize the system of
moldIng for light articles, say Of 100 pounds
and under, although the inventor says lit is
in its infancy yet, and may be applied here
after to much heavier and the most compli-
Gated work"

Speaking of detective work Inspector
stark said: when a detective knows
That he need not expect a reward he will
work all the better. The cases of most
Importance to the general public seldom
have rewards attached to them, but they
receive just as much attention as those
that have, and the detective is working to
uphold the law instead of seeking to fill
his own pockets. BESIDES. the taking of
rewards leaves the ogiccr Of the law open
to the implication that ho is receiving
blood money, and degrading what should
be n oiSnlfied profession. If he receives
no reward Eo cGnnot be tainted with
being open 70 the highest bidder. When
rewards arc going, the head of a detective
h""2au generally works the thing so as to
30 1t pay him. When his subordinates
we the case all ready he steps in and
Laics the arrest, receives all the credit,
and is doomed by the press as being the
greatest detective on earth, but the press
forgets to add that he DIVES the reward
with a far ~cleverer subordinate.
This matter of rewards is rampant in
TIE United States. We are constantly in
receipt of letters about criminals, and all
winding up with we will make it worth

inform these gentlemen that we are not
in tho reward business, but that if my
hnerican crook is wantcd and visits this
cry they may rest assured that we will
attend to him. Some of the greatest de-
lcaiive work you read about is all chance
work. The great public are not aware of
that and look upon detectives as super
human beings. Detectives are like other
ordinary people, and in many cases very
ordinary people indeed. Criminals are gen
orally detected by accident. The keenest

went so rapidly that they seemed to be
