Miscellanco us: TIIE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY SINCE Eleclrit-ily has been applied fo lighting purposes, all efforts of inventor have been direct ed to construct a lamp fo general domestic use. Tho reason why thi problem has till now not been solved is tho none of the inventors could rid themselves c the idea of gas-lighting, and that all hay adhered to the system of producing the Elec tricity m somo cc tral place, or by lnrg umchinerv, instead of iir.^t laying down tb principle that a Lamp which should ever b( come generally useful and popular must I portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain tli generator of Electricity m itself, i.e., m ti: foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at la: succeeded m completely realisiug this ideal c Electric Lighting, ami there is no doubt Uu this most important invention will brin about a complete revolution m all branches < lighting. Our Electric Lamp needs neither Mi cliinerv, Conductors, nor any expensive ou lay, nnd is neither complicated nor clUngre ablo m manipulation ; all that is uece sarv is to refill it every four or five da; with ncid. Iho cost of lighting will I as cheap as gas (31 cents per hour and it has beforo the latter the m mense advantage of neither producing hea smoko nor carbonic acid, owing to which 11 air is not impured, and remains at tho san degree of temperature. It is, further, absi lutely inodorous, and does not need to I kindled by match or otherwise, but simply fc turning the kny, thus avoiding nil danger < Gre, explosion or suffocation, as m the case < gas, if the key is left open; and it must 1 conceded that this advantage alone is ii valuable. It is further preferable to an known kind of lighting for tho followin reasons : — 1. Its manipulation i 3 so simple that an child can keep it m order. 2. 'lhat the Lamp is portable, and can I removed like any til Lamp from ono plac to another. 3. 'lhat it neither requires the disngreeab] fixing of the wick or tJio cleaning of tli cylinder, as m the case of Oil Lnmpß. 4. lhat the light produced is a soft an most steady ono ; that it never flickers, an tho ilanie, though being equal m power c lighting to gus, can be regulated to an degree. 5. That every danger of fire is absolutel excluded, as the light will extinguish inmied ately if by any accident the glass surroundin the burner should be broken. G. That it will burn, even m the stronges wind, completely unaffected, thus being ii: valuable for illuminations, lighting of gai dens, corridors, etc. This Lamp is constructed for tho prescn m three different sizes : — A, small sizo. Height of complete Lamp. 14 inches ; weight, about five pounds ;fo lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powde magazines (or similar places wli3ro explosive aro kept*, coaches, illuminations, gardens mines, or any other industrial purpose.
