THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY of ELECTRICITY, — :Sinco-JiJlectncity has been appljea j ifor lighting purposes, all i-fforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp ffbr general "datneTStjc uSe. The 1 reason 'why ' this problem "has till now t -not ,been solved, is that none of the 1 inventors' could rid , theniselyea of the idea of gas* lighting and that all have adhered to thr 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 Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., 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 inventiqn will bring about a complete reylli'tvdn'iri alt 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 c^nts per hour), and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic aeid, owing to which the air is not impured, and remains at the^ame of temperature. . It is further, abisolutely;ihodorous, and does not need to he kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, , as in the case 6t 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 1 any ! child can keep it in' order. ' (2*) That.the Lamp is portable, andean be 1 removed 1 like an Oil Lamp, from one J place tb another. , .(30 ,That it requires the disagreeable' fixing of the : wick, or the cleanine of the cylinder, as in the case ojE oil i ,'Lahxpßi .... : •(4.) That the light produced is a soft and mosi steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flamerthough being equal in jo,- poweq of lighting to-gas^can be regulated' toany degree. " ; (5.) That every danger oj fire is ahso lidely «eicZttded,las',the light wilieitiuguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surroqndrpg tlje burner should bejbrokjen. (6.)"That it will burn even in the istrong.estwind, completely unaffected, th'us'being invaluabre for' iHumitiatidns, ligttingj of gardens, corridors, &c. . i This Latnp is constructed for the present in three different sizes . — ! , ; A, gnjall 1 sizei .
