THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Ritic.e Electricity haR been applied for lighting purposes, all tf^orts of inventors have been directeil to construct h lamp for general. domestic Ur<e. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid th«mtßlves of the id«a of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to tho system of producing the Electricity iv Rome central, place, .or by large vriaeliiiiery, i»>«t«ad of first laying down the principle that h Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, musb he portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity in itself, i.e., in the foot of the Lump. The Nurih&n Electric Light Co. has at last «iic<:ewled in completely realising .this ideal of Electric Lighting, , and there is no doubt that this most important; invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branoheß of lighting. Our Electric Lai.np nkkds nkithkr Maghi.vekt, CoKDUCTOTfI, iior any expmsivo outlay, and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in manipulation ; all thut is necussary is. to r«-fill it evory four or five dnyx wilh acid. The cost OF LIGHTI>G WILL BE AS CHEAP A« GAS (f cents per hoiu), and it has before tli« latter tho immense ndvimtrtfie of neither producing heat, smoke, nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not. itopur«d, and remains afc the B>\me diujree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to bo kindled by raitch, or otherwise, hirfc simply by turning the "key. thus AVOIDING ALL DANGER OF FIXE. explosion, or Kuffociition, as in the caso of gas, if the key is left open ; and it must bo conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is- further pruforable to any knowu kind of lighting for the following reasons : — (1) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can ke<"'P it in order. (2) That the lamp is portable, ard can be removed like any Oil Lamp from one place to another. ('i) That it neither rrquires the disagreeable .fixing of tlie wick or the cleaning of the cylinder, an in the c;tm? of Oil Limps. •" (4) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one.; that it nev«r nickers, and the flame, though bring pqual in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any decree. (5) That EVERY DANGER OF FIRM IS ABBOi,utklt EXOLUDKD, ah the light will extinguish inmip.diatply if l>3 r any accident the glass surrounding the burner should he broken. (fi) That it will burn, uven in the strpiifjest wind, completely un» fFectcd, thus beintf invalna))le f»r illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors. &c.
