THE LATEST AMKKICAN INVENTION. rjHR VICTORY op ELECTEICITY. I — Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, nil efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now nut 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 l-.lectricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying j down the principal that a Lamp popular, I must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and ' contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. c., in the foot of the Lamp. I The Norman Electric Light Co has at 1 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 he as cheap as gas (f cents pernour), and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to whic^i the air is not 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 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 arid most steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated tbany degree. (5) That every danger oj 'fire is also lutely excluded, &s the light will extinguish immediately, if .by any accidejat the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. (6.) That it* will 'burn even mthe'strongestwind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors; &c. : '-• This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes . — A. Small size. Height of complete Lamp. 14 inches ; weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches illuminations, gardens, mines, or. any other industrial purpose.

Estimates furnished. • All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be immediately sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals sufficient -foJ several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A» and two for sizes B and C. The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Storey in even the smallest village. ' Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the: same should not give complete satisfaction. . On ail orders for six Lamps and above, a discount of six per cent, will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first-class references on a New York or Philadelphia house. The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can \be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world. All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. fif^f Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringe* merits will be prosecuted. i^' Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps, wanted everywhere.
