NOTICES x s | THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. IHE VICTORY WfEL^fBICiTY. i Since electricity nas been applied for.lightrog purposes, all efloits of- inventors have been directed to construct > lamp for general domestic use. * The reason why this problem: has'tiU'tis# not been solved is thai none of the inventors could rid the npselves. of the idea of gas lighting, and that all hare ad- : hered to the system of producing the eleo- ' trinity, in some central'place, or by large ;. maohinery,-instead of first laying down the principle that, a lamp which should ever become generally usefuland popular mast be - portable,, like an oil lamp, and contain the i electricity in itaelf.Trl.e.,,iniihe foot of the lamp. > The Norman Electrio Light Company has at.last suooeeded incompletely realising this ideal of, electrio lighting; ani there is no doubt that this.most important invention will bring about'* complete' revolution in all branches of lighting. r - Our Itleotric Lamp needs neither machinery, conductors, nor any expensive out- ' lay,:and is neithercomplicatednor disagreeable in manipulation. All chat is neoewary is to refill it every {pur or acid. The cost of lighting will beaa ohs»p »* g" (I 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 inodoroniii' and 5 does not need to be kindled by. match or 1 otherwise, but simply by turning' J the key, 1 :thuß 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 j lighting for the following reasons : (1) Its manipulation is-eo simple that any child can keep it in order, (2) That the lamp is portable, and can be i removed, like any oil lamp, from one place to another.' ■.-? ■:•'■' %''■ (3) That It neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick nc>r the pleahing of the cylinder, as in the caset'of oiMsßpit*■■**' (4) That the light pro'need is a soft and . most steady one; : that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can.be,regulated to any degree... ... _ r '-,. ,i' /s "..,".,.'.... .-,- ... (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 oe broken. ' . (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of garden's, corridors, So.
