THE LATEST AMERICAN INVKNTION. rr HE VICTORY of ELE CTBICITY. I —Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of in ventors 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 tho system of producing the (• lectricity in some central 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. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded iv completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lightning, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revlution in all branches of lighting. Our Electric Lump needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nordisagreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every fotir or five days witb 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 whicli the air is not impured, and remains at the.ani© degree of temperature. Jt 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 of 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 cleanjngof the. cylinder, as in the case otOil -Lamps. (4.) . That the light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal jn in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated . oany degree. - (5.) That every danger of fire is abso lutely 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 strongest wind, cpmpl.etely.unaffected, thus,l^eisg invaluable for illuminations, lighting pf gardens, corridors, &c. This Lamp-is constructed for the present in three different sizes . — __.
