Tho reason that this problem has not till now been solved, is that none of the inventors could lid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all ■ have<adhered to tho system of producing. the lElootricity 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, nfust be portable, like ; an Oil Lamp, and contain tho generator ;of Electricity in itself, i.e., in the foot of the! Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co, lias atiast succeeded in completely realizing thjs ideal, ofElcctrio 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 needsrieither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive , outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipu- ; [ation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid, Tho cost of light; .ing will be as cheap as gas (J cent per hour),' and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke, nor car*,, bonic. acid, owing to which the air. is not impiired, and remainsat'tho same degree of temperature. l It is-further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to bo kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by-turning: the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire,/explosion,, or ; suffocation, as in tho case, of gas, if the.key isleft open; and it must'bo .conceded that, this advantage aloho is preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons ; ... . : , :(]) Its manipulation is so simple thaj 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 tho cleaning of .tho! cylinder, a3 in the case of Oil Lamps. (4) That the .light produced is a soft and moststeady ono ; that it never flickers, and 'tho flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree, (5) That :cyery; danger of, fire is absolutely; excluded, as tho light will extinguish imme-,-diatoly, if by any accident the glass, surrounding' the burner should bo broken. {G) That it wilt bum, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus'; being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. This Lamp is constructed for tho present in threo different sizes _ A, small size, Height of complete Lamp, 14 1 inches; ; weight, about 5 pounds/ for. lighting rooms,- cellars, storage Jiouscs, powder imaga-* zines .(or .similar-places wliero oxplosiyes are. kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial'purpose.
