Chapinville, March 30.-The late Frank Taylor, detective, war veteran, Inventor and all around good fellow, worked over plan to bottle day light h Bridgeport, 27 years ago. At that lime was correspondent for the New Haven Register and New York World. For both those newspapers prepared l description of Frank Taylor's inven- lion under his direction for bottling day light.
 The story was published in line with other inventions in which Frank Tay- or was working such as "The LOCO phone" a. telephone on locomotives, all 20 a device for destroying water ahead pf the bows of a ship so that steam er would be sucked ahead into the va .uum and not forced to over come the displacement of tons of water, Sc, &c- Tn fact there were quite a lot of iI. rentionS on which Frank Taylor was working when the Great Reaper came hIong and cut him off. He went into
 pace and lost space. It seems these inventions as described at that time in the. newspapers were taken both ser lolfsly and otherwise. The Scientific American Illustrated the 1ocophone story and since then the telephone has become operative in first class parlor ears. The bottled day light story how syer, agitated the bile of the Editor of sne of the New Haven newspapers run ming in opposition to the Register, and he called Bottled day light a Jules venres tale.'' The author of such a yarn, he said, twas living before his time and such nonsense was too silly to attract attention.'' Well! It may be I was living before my time, at that lime, but now it seems I am living af- ter my time because bottled daylight has become the subject of much con- Fern up around Haverhill and Rox- bury.

BOTTLED DAYLIGHT MADE
 FIRST IN BRIDGEPORT
Late Detective Frank Taylor Worked on Invention That
 Has Been Realized.
Massachusetts Inventors Make Sun Shine on Polished Metal Pings Which Causes Electricity to be Gener= ated so That Daylight Actually is Bottled

never take away the fact, that bottled day light was first Made in Bridge Dort''
 The following is an editorial on the subject which appeared in last Satur- days Springfield Union."
 Two inventors, one of Haverhill
 and the other of Roxbury, have built
 a machine which they say can be
 made to generate electricity from the
 suns rays. The suns rays, falling on a large number of metal plugs, gen.
 crate an electric current which can
 be stored In batteries, a machine five
 feet square being able to store suffi-
 cient electricity to generate power for five 16-candlepower lights for a period of from four to five hours; ac- cording to a printed account. There will be much curiosity to learn more
 about this machine. If the result is
 as stated, the machine may be the forerunner of others, more powerful and serving the much-sought object of a direct generation of. electricity, without the use of water power or
 any kind of fuel To do this on a large scale would mark a revolution
 so important that anything that tends in that direction excftes some . interest, even from the most skepti-
 cal.
 If the editor of that New Haven newspaper who 27 years ago said I was living before my time, is himself still in the quick. I hope at least he will now be convinced that I am living af- ter my time. and have lived before and since the discovery of wireless telegra- phy, smokeless powder, silent gunnery, elongated corsets as well as many oth- wonderful inventions, and especially since the discovery of bottled daylight by Detective Frank Taylor and first Made in Bridgeport" Detective Geo. Arnold and Superintendent ot Police Eugene Birmin gham will vouch for this. Edgar Allen Poe became great after he died, and so has Detective Frank Taylor. J. H. S.
