T HE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors bare been directed'to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why tiiiii problem till now not been solved, la that none of the inventors coaid 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 be portable, like an oil lamp, and contain the generator of electricity in itself, i e., in the foot of the lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at ast succeeded in completely realising this s«»l of electric lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Our electric lamp needs neither machinery, conductors, nor any 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 boat of lighting will be as cheap as gas (f cents per boar), and H has before the latter the immense ad/antage of neither producing heat, smoke dor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not imputed, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is, further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match or otherwise, bat ■lmply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as In the case of gas, if the key is left Sen ; and it moat be conceded that this vantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of igKtlfig for the following reasons 1, Its manipulation la so simple that nay 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 disagreesUp fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of oil lamps. '4 That the 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 be broken. 6. That it will bum, even In the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus bang Invaluable for illuminations, lighting •igardeus, corridors, etc. it,;, lamp is constructed for the present -three different sizes:— A, size.
