THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY OP ELECTRICITY. SINCE Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventor* have be-n directed to contract e lamp for general domestic use. The reasrin 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 adhered to the system of produc ing the Electricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of flrstj laying dpwn the principle that a Lamp which should eve* become genoVally useful and 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. fittve at last succeeded in completely’terilisirig this ideal'of Electric Lighting, arid there'is no 1 doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution 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 ($ cents per hour), and it has before the latter immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke or carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impaired, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to bo kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion sr suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left alone; 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 any Oil Lamp from one place ,40 another. (3) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the widk, or thri cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lainps. (4) That the light produced is a soft and moat steady one; that it never flickers, and the flame, though beirifl equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (6) That every danger of Are is absolutely excluded,' as the light will extinguish immediately if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes:— ,A, stunH'iize. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, tibout 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places were explosives are kept), :coaohes, illumination's, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purposes. ( Price £1 per lamp, delivered free’to any part of the Wor|d. ; ; B, medium size, '. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, .etc. J This Lamp is elegantly depofated, . pud has re-, movable white ground Glass' Globe. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly arid plegriritly constructed),'£2, delivered free to alriy part of the' World. 0. Grand size for parlor, hall, saloon, public building, etc. The' Lamp gives a most brillianf arid steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most'tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class' and elegant. Price, £4 10s. Foot of Lamp is'either Bronte, Japanese, Faience or Silver Oside. Any special size or'design made to order . Estimates furnished. All Lainps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, Securely Jpeoked in strong irooden boxes, with printed 1 directions for use, a quantity of chemical sufficient for 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 Store, iu even the smallest village. Every Lamp'is accompanied by a written guarrantee for one year, and will be exchanged or money refunded if ;tbe same ahould nob give complete satisfaction. On all orders for six lamps and above a discount of six per cent will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, unless aoeompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first-class references on a New York or Philadelphia house. The best method of sendinglfmqney is by draft on New Yerk, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose* the amount in Bank' notes, gold coins, or postage‘stritri'ps of ariy ’cb'uritrv' of the world. All orders, the smallest as wall as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted. Agones, Salesmen, on Commission, and Consignees for qur Lamps, wanted everywhere. No special'knowledge or capital re quired. 1 ; ' ,!
