T.HE LATEST AMERICA^ INVENTION.' "1 Hf^ VICTORY of ELECTRICITY. I — yince Eleelrii'iiy has been applied for lighting purposes, nil efforts of inVen-. tors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem hns till now not been solved, is thnt, none of ihe inventors could rid themselves of the ideaJQrga.s'Jightiijg and .that all have adhered to the system o,f producing the I' lectficity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying 'down the principal that a Lamp popubir, ; must be portabJe, like an Oil Lamp, and ; contain 'tlie generator of Electricity in itself, *. c., in the foot of the Lamp. . The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal Qf Electric Lightning, and there is no doubt that this most important inIvention will bring .about a complete reylution in all branches of lighting. 1 Our Electric Lamp needs neither Maphinerg, Conductors, nor any, expensive •outlay, sind is neither complicated, nor jdisagreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days Vk ith acid . The cost of lighting will fre as cheap- as gas : {% cents per hour), and Sit has before the latter the immense ad-., vantage of neither producing boat; smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to whicli the air is n6t iiripure<J, and remains at the "same 4egree of temperature. It is further, ab-,solu-tely inodorom, an^ oes not nce(^ to be kindled by match, or otherwise^ but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding \all ddkger of fire, explosion or suffocation, ;as in the case ot gas, if the key is .left, jopen ; and it must be conceded lhat this ■advantage alone is invaluable. It- is further preferable to any fEpv^fkm<i,o f lighting; for the following reasons : — - --(.1.) Its. manipulation is so simple that aqy 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. (8^ Jhafc it neither , .requires the dis-^ .agreieable fikihg of'tlie tvick,' of the clelin- 1 ,me olfcbe cylinder, as in the case of Oil j Lamps. (4.) That the light produced is a soft and imsbftietidj ons.f that, ft nerer flioiciers*, frfdtheTfl^M ihbugiibiping equal "in in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated, toanyi degree. • ■- • • •■' (5.)
