THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.

rpHE VICTORY or ELECTRICITY. I f -^ShiojO Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of investors have been directed to construct a lamp- for general domestic use. 3^he reason, why this problem has till now not Been solved, is that ' none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gasjighting and tliat all have adhere^ to the system of producing the Electricity in some central place, or by large' machinery, instead of first laying down- the principal that a Lamp popular, must.be portable, like an OUVLamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself; i. e:, in the foot of the Lamp. The Niorman: Electric Light Co. has at last sacceed.ed .in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lightning, and there is no doubt that this most important iii- ] rention will bring about a complete rev - lution in all branches of lighting. J Our Electric Lamp needs neither Met-'' chinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay* J "ami is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulator! ; .all that is necessaiy is to refill it evny fo ir or five days with acid. The cost ofligh'ing will be as cheap as gas (£- cents per hour), and it has before the latter the immense advantage'of neither, producing boat, smoke nor carbonic acjd, owing, to whic i the air is not impured, 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 suffocation, as in the case pt gas, if the key is left open; and it 'mast be conceited that this advantage alone is invaluable. It iii furthervpreferable to any known kind pf lighting for the fallowing reasons : — (1.) Its manipulation- is 80 simple that any child; can, keep it in order. (2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like an Oil Lamp, from one place"to another. (3.) That it neither requires' the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleanins of the cylinder, as in the case of Oi! Lamps." .- (4.) That the light produced is a soft and most-stead j one ; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in in power of lighting to gas, can be reguJ .i : •-•:! t f>any l degrre. <5.) Tliat evertf, danger of fire is abso lutely exdMed, as the light wiil -.xtinguish immediately, if by any aceideU, the glasv giirro.undijnjj.thejburnersbould be broken (6.) That it will burn even in the stropgr est wind, completely unaffected, f hus b6ing, invatpable for jilluminatioas, lighting of gardens, corndbrs, &c.
