'THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all ef orts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and lhat all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some General 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 tbe generator of Electricity in itself, i.e., iv the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realising this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this most importaut invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs NErTHER MACHrtfEHY, Conductots, nor any expeusive outlay, aud is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in ■ manipulation ; all that is necessary is to re-fill it I every four or tive days with ncid. Tqk cost OF LIGHTING WILL BE AS CHEAP AS GAS (f cents per j hour), and it has before the latter the immense 1 advantage of neither producing heat, smoke, J nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not i itupured, and remains at. the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely iuodori ous, and does not need to be kindled by m-vtch, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, | thus AVOIDING ALL DANGER OF FIBB, explosion, I or suffocation, as in tbe case of gas, if tlie key is lefb opeu ; and it must be conceded that this ad- | vantage alone is invaluable. It is further preI ferable 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 place to another. (*i) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (4) That the light produced is a soft and most | steady one ;. that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be rogulated 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 burner should be broken. IfS) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, &c. This Lamp is constructed for the present in three differpnt sizes : — (A) Small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches ; wuight, about 5 pounds ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), cosches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, Ll. —• - Per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world. (B) Medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Glohe.

The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Prico, L 4 10s — .

Ail Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals sufficient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for si2e A, and two for sizes B and C The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village.
