THE LATEST AMERICAS! INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINCE E'eetricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors Imvo be n directed to contract 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 adhered to the system of produo mg the Eh ctrici'y in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of fir-t, laying down the principle that a Lamp which should eve” become generally useful and popular must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain tbe generator of Elec'ricity in itself, i. e., in the foot < f tbe Lamp. The Norman Electric Light. Co. have at last succeeded in completely realising this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that th's mast impomnt invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of Light ng. Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor di ag r eeable in .manipulation ; ali that is ne:essary is to refill it every four or five days with acid, the cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (£ cents p r hour), and it has before the latter immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke or carbonic acid, owing to «h ch the air is not imp dred, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not ne-d to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but. simply bv tun ing the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left done; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further prt ferab e to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons : (1) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can beep it in order. (2) That Ihe Lamp i- portable,'and can be removed like any 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 flickers, and the flume, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (5) That every danger of fire i» absolutely excluded,* as the light will extinguish immediately if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. (6) J hat it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaff eted, thus be>og invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, eto. 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 were explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens mines, or any other industrial purposes, Trice £1 per lamp, delivered free to any part of che World, B, medium size.

F very Lamp is accompanied by a written guarrantee for one year, and will be exchanged or money refunded if the same should not give co ,-ipletes>itisfac‘ion. On all orders for six lamps and above a discount of six per cent will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, u desg acornpanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first-class references on a New York or t'hiladilpbia bouse. The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose tbe amount in Tank note-, gold coins, or postage s amps i f any country o f the world All orders, ibe smallest as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, .and will be, forwarded without d-lay. .
