THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. - I HE VICTtiEYoF ELECTBICITY. i — Since Electricity has been applied forJlighting purposei, aU efforts of inventors have been directed to construct- a lamp,? for.= general »se. The reason whyj this problem has*' till now noif been Solved, is thiat none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting and -that all have adhered tpthe system of producing the i-.leetricfty in some central place, or by large,. macajnerTt. instead of first laying down tVe principal that a Lamp popular, must^eTwrtaWer'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 reylutton in all branches, of lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs' neither Ma~ chinery, 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 immerise 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, abi solutely inodorous, and. does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwisejjbut 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; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is in valuable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons : — (1.) Its manipulation is so simple that ,ariy child can keep it in order. L- (2.) Tbatihe.Lampis portable, andean be removed like an Oil Lamp, from one place to another. (3.)' That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of tlie wick; br the clean•ine ot the oylinderj as hvthe case of Oil Lamj s. • - (4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flame; though being e.qual in in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated toariy degree. '„ , ; (5) That every danger of fire is also Intely excliiAeA, as tne 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. Small size. Height of complete Lamp: 14 inches ; weight, about 5 pounds; {or lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or.* similar places where explosives are 'kept), coaches illuminations, gardens^ mines, brany other industrial purpose.
