SINCE Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts ot inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general dome -tio nse. The reason why this problem has till now not be 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 the electricity in some central place, or by largo maohinery, insteid of first laying down the principle that a lamp which should ever become generally useful and popnlar, must be portable, like an oil lamp, and contain the generator of electricity in itself, i.e., in the foot of the lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realising this ideal of electrio lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Onr Electric Lamp needs neither machinery, conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated nor. disagreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will be as cheap ac gas (| cents per hour), and it has before the latter the immense advantage of neitherproducing 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 in the case of gas, if the key is lott open ; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone iB invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons :- 1. Its manipulation is co 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 tlie disagreeable fixing of the wick or the oleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of oil lamps. 4. That the light produced 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. 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. I 6. That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, cortidors, &c. This lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes :—
