THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION: ■■ ' " rpHE VICTORY of ELECTRICITY. I — Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of invep-, tors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic, use. The reason why this problem has till now not 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 I I lectricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying j -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 Jlast succeeded in completely realizing I this ideal of Electric Lightiiin g, and there is no "doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branched 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 jheat, _moke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air Ms itotimpured,' arid rerriains'iit the s_me . degree of temperature. It is further, ab- , solutely inodorous,- and. does not. need to be kindled by match, or otherwisej.but; simply by turning thei key, thps avoiding all danger o/^r^explpsio^qrsuffocation, v as in the case ot gas, if" the key is left !open ; and it must be conceded that-this advantage alone is invaluable. is •'further preferable to .any known, kind of lighting for the following reasons' :— (I.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can Tce'ep it in order. ' (2.) 1 That the Lamp 'is'portable; and can ibe removed like.an. Oil .Lamp, from one ■place to : another. '- ' : ' ' . : (3 J That it. neither, requires the dis- ■ lagreejtble fixing>oif.tu_.-wi_k;<Pr: the clean- •! [. ing of the cylinder, as, in the case of Oil .Lamps. . (4.) That the light -produced is a soft .and mo,st,J!teady .one ; -that Jt-neve/ ..flicl^:ers, aadiUie flame.ithoiighVbfeing^qßaixiri, in power of lighting to gas, can be regulatedstoany degree;." • •" ; (5 <j~ _*hat every dangei* oj fire' is also \ lutely racfodeaUasihe.bght JtfiU r extinguish inimediately, if by any accident the glass jsuifouHdintf the burner; sbould'he broken. - W) T_at It will bupn ieven^in-itße strong^ ! est wind, completely unaffected, thus being lpvaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, &c. . : This Lamp is ; cbns€iHicted for tbe pre- * sent in three different aizes.. — I : A.
