PUBLIC NOTICES | THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. npHB VICTORY OP ELECTRICITY. Since electricity has been appHed for lighting purposes, all efforts r£ inventors have ( been direoted to construct a lamp for general ■ domestic use. The reason why this problem ] has till now not been solved is that none ci - the inventors could rid the n selves of the idea of gas 1-ghting, and that ail have ad- | heivd to the system of producing the elec- , trioity in some central place, or by large ( machinery, instead of first laying down the ; principle th&t a lamp which should ever ; become generally us ful and popular mast be portable, like an oil lamp, and contain the , generator of electricity in itself—i.e , in the i foot of the lamp. The Norman EJectrio Light Company has , at last succeeded in completely realising this , id al of electric lighting, an 1 there is n> d übt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Our iileotric Lamp needs neither machinery, conductors, nor any expensive out- ' lay, and is neither c implioaied nor disat'ruoable in manipulation. All chat is necessary is co refill it every four rr five days with acid. The oosi of lighting will be as cheap » g* B (i cents per hcur), add it has before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke, mr carbonic acid, owing to whioh the air is not impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is, further, absolutely Inodorous, and does not reed 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 case of gas, if the key is left open; and it must 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 to simple that any child oin 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 nor the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of oil lamps. (4) '! hat the light pro luoed is a soft and moat steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flame, though be ng equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated 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 (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, 4c. This lamp is constructed for the present In three different sizes : A., small size. Heitht of complete lamp, 14 inches; weight, about spounds;for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places w here explosives ines, or any other industrial purpose.
