THE LATEST. AMERICAN LNVKNTIO^. 'B HE VICTORY of ELECTRICITY. I — Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, &\\ efforts of inyentrirs h nve been diret-ieil to construct a lump for general domestic use. The reason why this problem ha"S till how not been solved, is thnt none of the inventors could rid themselves of the ideu of.^as lighting and, that all have adhered fo the system of producing the I leelricily in fcome central piace, or by large macuinery, instead of first laying down the principal that a Lamp popular, must be portable, Jike an Oil Lamp, and contain Ui.e (generator of Electricity in | itselF, i. c., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Ca. has at u last 'succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lightning, and thereis no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete reylution in all branches of lighting. i_ Our Electric Lsimo needs neither Ma~ chinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation.; all. that is necessary is to refi 1,1 it every four or five days with acid. -The cost t of lighting will be, as cheap as gas (f .cente per hour), and it has beFore the . latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic ncid, owing to whicli the air [.is.iiot 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 a2i.dange;rQfjire,exy\o?\op or suffocation, as in the caseW gas; it 'the key is left open ; and it must be conceded that., this advantage alone is invaluatftf. jlt'-ip fur|her preferable to an^ known kfnd of ligiitirig'f6rtb!e" followins i-^easdns # .-^ r . } i (l.) Its' manipulation is so simple that •any 'childfea'n keep it in order. ■ j ' - (2.) That the Lamp is portablei andean be removed like an Oil Lamp, from one place to anbtYer/ ' ; : . : (3.) That it neither requires the disl- ; agre«able fixmg ofykfi wiqkiOrthe oleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps'. "'■''" "" '■ '"' ' ! (4.) That the light produced is a soft and mpst-steadTcOne* $*** it never^flic^and Jthe_.fldm6V thbtt&t being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated toany degree; „ „■-'. ; # : '(&) 'Tli at every danger' of fire is also lately pet-faded, as the light will extinguish inimedJateiy, if by any accident the, glass surrounding the burner should be broken.
