THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINGE Electricity has boon applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct n 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 that all have adhered to the system of producing the 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.c., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Company has at last succeeded 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 branches of lighting. Our Electric Lamp NEEDS NEITHER MACHINERY, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation; all that is neces-. sary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost oe lighting will be as cheap AS gas (J cents 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, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is. further, absolutely inodorous, and docs not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but timply by turning the key, thus AVOIDING ALL DANGER OE FIRE, explosion, OV suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must bo conceded^ that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind oHighting 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. (3) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (-1) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one; that it never flickers, and the (lame, through being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (.”)■ 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. (fi) That it will burn, oven 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 sizes : 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. Price, LI 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 Globe. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), L2, delivered free to any part of the world.

The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village. Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will bo exchanged, or money refunded, if he same should not give complete satisfaction. On all orders for six Lamps and above, a discount of 6 per cent, will be allowed. No orders from abroad filled, unless accompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or firstclass references on a New York or Philadelphia house. The best method of sending money is by draft on Now York, which can be procured at any Banker’s and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world. All orders, the smallest, as well as the most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. tST Our Electric lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will bo prosecuted.
