The Latest American Invention, - The Victory of Electricity. SINOE Electricity has been npplictl for light in^_ purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason that this problem lias not till now been solved, is that none of the 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 clown the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful ami 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. 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 allbranches of lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outla)', 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 be as cheap as gas ( ; | 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 imputed, 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 suffocation, 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 Lain]), 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 ease of Oil Lamps, (4) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, aud the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can bo regulated to any degree. (5) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light ( \yill extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding tho burner should bo broken, N (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. lhisLampis constructed for the present in three different sizes A, small size, Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weighty abouts pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose.
