Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general donfestio use. The reason why tiffs problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the electricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must bo portable, like ftQ oil lamp, and contain tho generator of electricity in itself, i s., in the foot of the lamp* The Norman Bleotric Light Co. has at ast succeeded in completely realising this di»yl of electric lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring abont a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Oar electric lamp needs neither machinery, conductors, nor anjr expensive outday, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting wifi be as cheap as gas (| cents per hour), and it has before the latter the immense ad/sntage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air ia not impored, and remains at the same degree of jtemperature. It is, farther, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match or otherwise, but simply by taming the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key Is left open ; and it most be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is farther preferable to any known kind of }«i.Hn g for the following reasons 1. Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order. 2. That the lamp is portable, and can be removed like any oil lamp from one place to another ~ 3. That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of oil lamps. 4. That tbe light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickers, and -the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. . _ . , 6. That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should he broken. . , 6. That it will bum, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. This lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes A t small size. Height of complete lamp, 14 inones ; weight, about 6 lbs ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines or similar places where explosives.are kept, coaches, Uluminations, gardens, mini*, or any other industrial purpose.
