Tlio reason that this problem has 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 down: the principle that a Lamp which should ever 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. 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 any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation j all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will bo as cheap as gas (|cent pcrhonr), 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 loft open; audit must be conceded that this advantago alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons (!) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order. (2) That the Lamp is portable, and can bo 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' tlio 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 tkeglass Surrounding the burner should be broken, . • ■ • (6) That it will bum,.even intbo strongest wind, completely;unaffected, ithus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,, corridors, etc. " This Lamp is constructed for the 1 present 1 in three different sizes • _ A, small size.
