THE LATEST AMIiRIDAM INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. S.lNCEEleotrieity has been applied for . HliLtinj? purposes, nil efforts of inventors have bern directed to contract a lamp, for general domedic use. The reason w hy this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the invpntore could rid t themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all adhered to the system of producing; the Elfptricity ,in some central place, or by (large machinery, 1 instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which ebopld eve* become generally useful and popular must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and; contain the generatorof 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 most important, invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of Lighting.

Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery! Conductors, nor any expensive outlet, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in {manipulation.; ell that it necessary it to refijl. it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be at cheap as gas (3 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 re,mains 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 tar ing the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of eaji, if the key, is left '-lone 5 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,' cam be regulated to any degree. (5) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded,! as the light will extinguish immediately if by auy accident the glass sur. rounding the burner should be broken. (6) That'it will burn, even in (he strongest wind, completely unaff eted, thus be>ng invaluable fur 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 6 pounds*; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places we-e explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardebs, mines, or any, ether industrial purposes. Price £1 per lamp, delivered free to any part of the World. B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated,,and has. re movable white ground Glass Globe. Price, per Lump ; (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly And elegantly constructed), £2,delivercd free to any part of the World. C, Grand size for parlor, hull, 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 lOs: Foot, of lamp is either Bronze,. Japanese, , Faience,oc;Silver Ozidc. Any special size or design made to order. Estimates, furnished. All Liirops are ready for immediate use, and.will, be 'sent, securely, packed an strong wooden boxes* .with printed directions ,for use, a quantity of ohemic*! 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 im any Drug Store, in, even the smallest .village, Every Lamp is accompanied by ,a. written guarrantee for one year, ; and„pill be exchanged or money refunded if the same should not give complete satisfaction. On all order* 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 bouse. The '-best method of sending, money is,by, draft on New .York, which can be procured i at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world, j All ordere;lhe smallest as well as the .most important, will.reoeive (became particular attention, and will, be forwarded (without.j di-lay. ! Our Electric Lamp) are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted. .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. Address : THE NORM AN , ELECTRIC LIGHT 00, no!9 Philadelphia, U.B. of America, .
