QINCE Electricity has been applied for light ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for generadomestic use. 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 «jy .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. haß 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 allbrariehes of lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs 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 dayß with acid. The cost of light-, ing will bo as cheap as gas (J 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, arid 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 timing the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion, or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is "left open ; arid it must be conceded that this advantage alone is 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 jdace to another. . _ ° . . . (3) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing', of the "wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as inthecase 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 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 tho burner should be broken. . - (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, ' thus-, being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. - " , This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different Bizes :■ — : ■ • . ' A, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches ; weight, about 5 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.
