The Latest American Invention. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purpose, all efforts 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 gaslighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electeicity 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 idea cf 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 disagreable in manipulation ; all that is necessary to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of price ivill be cheap as yas (1 cents per hour), and it has before the latter an immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owiog to which the air is not impure and remains at the degree of temperature. It is further absolutely inoderus, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, butlsimply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas if the key is left open ; and it mnst be conceded, that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further 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 place to another. (3) That it neither requires the disagreenblc 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 ttie flame, though being equal iu power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. ’ (5) That every danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will cxtinguisli immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the 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, &c. Tin’s 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.
