THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THPC VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINCE E'ectricity h=ia been applied for lightTig purposes, nil efforts of inventors have be n directed to conlruct a l»rnp for genoral dome#tic use. The reason »hy this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, mid that all adhered to the system of producing (he Ehctrioity in some central place, or by large 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 contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. hare 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 outlay, and is neither complicated, nor di-agreeable in manipulation; all that ie necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (f cents p-'r hour), and it has 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 same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but siir p’y by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if tbs 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 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 is absolutely excluded,’, aa 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 unafft oted, thus tosag in* valuable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, eto. This Lamp is. constructed for the present in throe 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 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, delivered free to any part of Ihe World. C. Grand size for parlor, hull, saloon, public building, etc. The Lamp gives a n»”8t biilliant and steady light, lias large removable v bite Globe, decorated timet tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Priae, £4 10s. Foot of Lamp is either Bronze, Japanese, Faience or Silver Ozide. Any special size dr design made to order. Estimates furnished. All Li mps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden boxes, with printed directions for me, a quantity of chemical sufficient for several ni nths’ lighting, and , one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The recessary chemicals can bo purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village. i very Lump is accompanied by a written guarranti-e for one year, and will be exchanged or money refunded it [the same should not give complete satisfaction. tS-n all orders for six lamps and above a d:iiSl)srnt { ,f f ix per cent will be allowed. No orUd*s irom abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, orffirst-cliiss: references on a New'York or t hUadelphia house. The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Bunker, and everywhere, or enclose M e amount in Bank notes, golci coins, or postage s amps of any country of the world. All orders, the smallest as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. Our ! 'eetrlc Lamps are protected by law, and 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 CO„ no!9 Philadelphia, U.S, of America, GRATEFUL— COMFORTING.
