THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITT. SINCE Eloctricity has been applied for lighting purposes, 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 gas-lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing tho Electricity m some co-ttral 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, liko an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electricity m itself, i.e., m the foot, of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded m completely realising this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution m all brunches o) lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated nor disagree able m manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. Tho cost of lighting will be as cheap as gas (3i 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 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 m the ense of g«9, if tho key is left open ; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to anj known kind of lighting for the following reasons: — 1. Its manipulation is so simple that anj child can keep it m order. 2. That the Lamp is portable, and can b< removed like any Oil Lamp from one plac< to another. 3. That it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick or the cleaning of the cylinder, as m the case of Oil Lamps. 4. That the light produced is a soft and most Bteady one ; that it never flickers, and tho flame, though being equal m power oi 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 tho glass surrounding the burner should be broken. 6. That it will burn, even m the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thiiß being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. This Lsmp is constructed for the present m three different sizes : — A, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches ; woight, about five pounds ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places whore explosives aro kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, £1 per Lamp, delivered free to any part of the world. B, medium size. Serves nil domestic purposes for lighting rooms, homes, etc. This Lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot and Globo, richly and elegantly constructed), £2, delivered free to any part of the irorld. C, Grand size for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, etc. Tho Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, lies lnrgo removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price, £4 10s. Foot of Lamp m either Bronze, Japanete, Faience, or Silver Oxide. . Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished. All Lamps aro ready for. immediate use, and will bo sent, securely packed m strong wooden hoi, with printed directions for use, ft quantity of chemicals suilicient for several months' lighting, and one extra burner for sizo A, and two for sizes B and C.

Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will bd 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 from abroad filled unless accompanied by a remittance to cover tho amount, or firstclass reference on a Now York or Philadelphia houso. Tho beat method of sending money is by draft on New' York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose tho amount m Bank notes, gold coins, or postngo stamps of any country of the world. j^AH orders, tho smallest as well bs tho most important, will receive the same particular attention, and will be forwarded without delay. t&T Our Electric Lamps are protected by law, and all imitations and infringements will bo prosecuted. t&T Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our i*mps, wanted everywhere.
