THE LATPST AM Jt Ki -JA is 1 .<VEN i’JO-I. THE VICTORY OP ELECTRICITY. SINCE E'fchicit.y has been applied for lighting purposes, nli t fibits of inventors have be n directed to contract a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem haa 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 producing the Electricity in some central place, or by largo machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should eve" become generally useful and popular must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contgin the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. have at last B'icceeded in completely realising this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no 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 bo as cheap as gas (| cents per hour), and it has before the latter immense advantage of neither producing boat, smoko 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 be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply bv turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of eas, if the key is left clone ; 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 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 flame, 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) 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, small size, Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches j weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage bouses, powder magazines (or similar places were explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purposes. Price £1 per lamp, delivered free to any part of the World. B, medium size. Serves all domestic pirposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. Tti s Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2, delivered free to any part of the World. C. Grand size for parlor, hall, saloon, public building, etc. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and 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 Bronze, Japanese, Faience or Silver Ozide. Any special size or design made to order, Estimates furnished. All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden boxes, with printed 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 0. The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village. Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarrantee for one year, and will be exchanged or money refunded if .the same should not give complete satisfaction. On nil orders for six Tamps 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 moat important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, | end all imitations and infringements will be prosecu'ed. Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps, wanted everywhere. No special knowledge or capital re quired. A fortune to be made by active persons. THE NORMAN’ELECTRIC LIGHT C 0„ no!9 Philadelphia, U.B. of America, TO OUK READERS.
