THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. rPHE VICTORY of ELECTRICITY. i I . —Since Electricityhas been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors have, been directed to construct a lamp fdr % general 'dbmes'tic' use. The i reason, .why this problem has. till now not' been 1 "solved^, 'is i that, none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting and that all have adhere4?ta|he. system;;^ producing the Ptectricity in "so,me ' central place, or by large* machinery, insteaii 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, ix?e., in .the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light C©. has ai last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lightning, and there if doubt ,thatj;his most' important inyention will 'bring about a complete reylution in all branches of, lighting. _ ■ Our Electric Lamp needs neither Met' chinery, ■ Conductors,' nor any # expensive outlays and is neither complicated, noif disagreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid; The aost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (f cents per hour), and it has before the flatter thei immense ad- | vantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing toF which the^aif !is npt impyred,^and remains at the .same j degree of teinpef af urel It is"f urfcher, absolutely inodorousy .and does not need to be ( .kindled: by! match,;, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding \ all danger of fir e\ explosion or suffocation, las. in -the case;ot gas, if the key is left open ; and it must^be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. " It""if further preferable to any known kind of lighting for, the following reasons :— , (1.) Its"'mampuljiiion is so simple that iti^bhfltf'bin Iceep'rtin prder. lif ffl.)
