fitmCES THE LATfiST AMERI94N INVENTION. •JIHE i .VICTORY!' OF.ELECTRICITY. Since electricityjias been applied fdr light-ings-purposes, all efforts of inventors have teen directedto construct a lamp for general domestic übb. The reason why this problem hMtill now not been solved is that .none of thelnventoxa could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and. tint ail have adhered ~ti> the system of producing the electricity in some central plaoe, or by lsrge machinery,' instead of first laying doivn the principle that ft lamp which should ever become generally ns-fnl 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 Company has at last succeeded in completely realising this id< al of electric lighting, and there is n > doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of-.lighting. : ' Oar Electric Lamp needs neither machinery, conductors, nor any expensive out* lay, and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in manipulation. . All chat is necessary is Do refill. it.' every four or five days with aoid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap av gas (f cents per hour), and it has before the latter the immense sdvantage of neither produciug heat, smoke, nrr carbonic acid, owing to which tbe.air is not impured, and 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 turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion, or suffocation, as.in the. esse of gas, if the key is loft open; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. ;lb is further preferable to any known kind of ligliting.for the .following, reasons:—. (1) Its manipulation is co simple that any child can keep It in order, (2) That the lamp is portable, and can be removed, like any oil lamp, from on? place to another. (3) That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of tbe wick nor the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of oil lamps. (4) 1 hat the light pro tuoed is a soft and most steady one.; that it never flickers, and the flame, though be ! ng equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any (5) That every'danger of fire is absolutely exoluded, as the light will extinguish immediately if, by any accident, the glass surrounding the burner should oe broken " (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus beiDg invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, "&o. This lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes : A., small size. Height of complete lamp, 14 inches; weight, about spounds;for lighting rooms, cellars; storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose.
