THE LATKST AMSBIOA.N INVENTION. THK VICTORY OF KLKCTfiICIIY. lO lighting purposes, nil tffort<) of ■inventors have be-n directed to contruct a lamp for general domoitio use. The reason why this problem bas till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors coald 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 large machinery, instead of first) laying down the principle that a Lamp which should eve" become generally ufeful and popular must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, ana contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. have at last succeeded in completely realising this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this moßfc important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of Lighting, Our Eleotric Lamp needs neither Machinery, Conductor?, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation ; all that is nesessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (J cents p»r hour), and it haß before the latter immense advantage of neither produeing heat, smoke or carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impaired, and remains at the samo ■ degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and doeß not nerd to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but ciroply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion er suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left i-lone; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is farther preferab'e 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 ii portable,?and can be removed like any Oil Lamp from one place to another. (3) That it neithfr requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (4) That tho'light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the fi»me, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (5) That every danger of fire i« absolutely as the light will extinguish immediately if by nny Occident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. (6) 'J hat it ▼ill burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaff eted, 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; 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.

Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze loot and Globo, 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 moßt 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.
