'I HE VICTORY o? ELECTRICITY. I — Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes,, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason vfhy this "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 Kleotricrty in same central place, or_bylarge machinery, instead of first laying down tb<? principal that a Lam p. popular, must be portablej like an Oil Lamp, and contain* the 'generator of Electricity in itself, i. c., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lightning, and-there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete reylution in all branches of lighting. Our 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 of lighting will be as cheap as gas (f cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im.mense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which 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 ot gas, if. -the key is left open ; audit must be .conceded that this advantage jalono is mvaUiable. It is further-preferable to any kaown 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 remdved'-likennOilJjamp, from one place to another. (3.) That, it neither requires.. the disagreeable fixing of tiie 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 in power of lighting to gas, can" be regulated toany degree. (5 r ) That every danger oj fire is also liitely excluded,, as the light will extinguish immediately, if" by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. (6) That it will burn even m. the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors,. &,c. , This' Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes . — A.
