IKE LATEST AAIEIIICAN INVENTION. r T HE VICTORY of ELECTEICITY. ( I — Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now noj; been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Klectricity 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, t. c., in the foot of the Lamp. <. The Norman Electric Light C®. has at last succeeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lightning, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete reylution in all branches of lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery, 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 cents per.hour), and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impufed, 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 keyi thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation,, as in the case ot 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 cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickera, and the flame, though being equal in in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated toany degree. : (5.) That every danger qfjire is also lutelv excluded, as the light will extinguish immediately* if bj>ny accident the glass surrounding the burner should lie broken. (6.) That it will burn even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being j invaluable .for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, &c. '■ This Lamp is .constructed for the present in three different sizes . — A. Small size.
