THE LATEST AM iiflU.'AN INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINCE Electricity has been applied for ii»l. t'lif? purposes, nil effoits of inventors have ben directed to contruct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this problem baa till now not. been solved, is that none ef the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, ard thai ail adhered to the system of producing the Hhctrioily in pome central place, or by large- machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should eve l " become generally useful and popular must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Eledricity in it.-elf, i. e., in the foot ef the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. have at Inst Si cceetletl 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, Conductor?, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor di-agreeable in manipulation ; all that k necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (f cents p-r hour), and it has before the latter immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke or carbonic acid, owing to wivch the air is not imp lired, and remains at the same degree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inudorons, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by tun ing the key, thus avoiding all danger of fhv, explosion or suffocation, as in the case of gas, if the key is left alone ; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferab'e 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 disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (4) That tho light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickers, and the fLme, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (5) That evory danger of fire i« absolutely excluded,' as the light will extinguish immediately if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should bo broken. (6) That it ■vill burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminutione, 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 were explosives arc kept), coaches,•illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purposes. I'rice £1 per lamp, delivered free to any purt of th? World. B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. "Ilis Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2, delivered free to any part of the World. C, Grand siza for parlor, hall, saloon, public building, etc. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decovated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price, £4 10s. Foot of Lamp is either Bronze, Japanese, Faience or Silver Ozide. Any special size or design made, to order. Estimates furnished. All Lamps aro ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden boxes, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemical sufficient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and C. The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village. ilvery Lamp is accompanied by a written guarrantee for one year, and will be exchanged or money refunded if the same should not give complete satisfaction. On all orders for six lamps and above a discount of six per cent will be allowed. No orders Irom abroad filled, unless acoompanied by a remittance to cover the amount, or first-class references on a New York'or I'hiladclphia house. The beat method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be prooured at any Banker, and everywhere, or encloee the amount in Pank notes, gold coins, or postage si amps 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. Our fi lectric Lamp' ore proteoted by law, and all imitatious and infringements will be pror ecu! ed. Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps, wanted everywhere. No special knowledge or oapital re quired. A fortune to be made by aotivo persons. .Address: THE NORMAN ELECTRIC LIGHT CO,, no!9 Philadelphia, U.S. of America,
