The 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 nllbranches of lighting. Our Electric Lamp heeds neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. Tho cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (jj cent per hour), anil it has before the latter tho 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 ho 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 tho'key is left open; and it'must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for tho 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 liko 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, as in thecaso of Oil Lamps. (4) That the light produced is.a soft and most steady ono; that it nover llickcrfl, 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 will extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burnor should bo broken.. (li) That it will burn,, oven in tho strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. This Lamp is constructed for the present in threo different sizes:— A, smali size. Hoiglit of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, about.s pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar pjaccs where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, minos, or any other industrial purpose.
