THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY of ELECTRICITY. B — Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inven. tors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why 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 lectricity in some centrai place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principal that a Lamp popular, ! must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. c., in the foot of the Lamp. Tho Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realizing | this ideal of Electric Lightning, and thenis no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete reylution in all branches of lighting. Our Electric Lump needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, ami 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 immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to whic'i the air is not impured, nnd 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 ofjire, 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 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 an Oil Lamp, from one place to another. (3.) That it neither requires the disagreeable 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 in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated toany degree. (5 ) That every danger ojfire is also lidely 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 in the strohgest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, &c. This Lamp is constructed for tbe 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. Price, £1. Per Lamp, delivered free to any part ot the world. B. medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, &c. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Glole. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2. delivered froe to any part of the world. C Grand size, for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, <fee. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price £4 10s. — Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faience, or Silver Oxide. Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished. All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be immediately sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals sufficient foJ several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village. Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction. On all orders for six Lamps and above. a discount of six per cent, will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first-class references on a New York or Philadelphia house. The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, ©r postage stamps of any country of the world. All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. &tf Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be presecuted.
