11HE LATEST AMERICAN IN* VESTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Since Electricity has b/en applied for lighting pmp 'Bl'B, alWyffo/ts «f .inventors have been directed t(A«in*niA a/ lamp for general domeatio use. two rAm why this problem has till now fnol beenf solved, is that none of the invento* conbf riil themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have had adhered tojhe system of producing the ElcctricitJ in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful ami popular, most bo 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 last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric lighting, and there is ire doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Onr Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, 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 <j lighting will he as cheap as gns (three fourth cents per hour) ani it baa before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to whoh the air is not impurecl, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous. ,and does not need to be kindled by match* or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffoeatiot., as in the case of gas, if the key is left open ; and it must bo conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting 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 roqniics the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of other Oil Lamps. (4.) That the light produced is a soft and ■most steady one ; that it never flickers, and theflame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can bo regulated to any degree. (5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should bo broken. (6.) That it will burn, 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. Small size. Height of Complete Lamp, 14 inches ; weight, about 5 pounds ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose.
