The reason that this problem has not till now been solved, is tlmt none of-tlie inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have 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 ever become generally useful amipopular, must ho portable; like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity ill itself, i.e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Go. has at last succeeded in completely realizing 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 auy expensive outlay, and is' neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or fivo days with acid. The' cost of lighting will bo as cheap as gas Q cent per hour), and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke, nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impured, 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 by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion,- or sulfocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open j 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 placoto another, (3) That it neither requires the disagreeablefixing 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 ono ; that it never flickers, aud 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, as the light will extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. jC) That it will burn, even in the strongest ■ wind, completely unaffected,' thus being invaluable for illumination's, 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, abouts pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder maga°zincs (or similar places where .explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose.
