THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINCE Slestricity has been applied for lighting purposes, .all efforts of invent tors have Veen to construct a lampior gene-! ral domestic use.^,. The reason why this problem "has till how pbt^been solved, is; that none of tlie inventors could rid them-, aehas of the id<ja of gae-ujg&ting, and tbafc; all have adhered to the, system of producing the Electricity in some central 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 like an Oil Lamp, and con-i tain-the generator- of -Electricity in itself, i i.e. , in the, foot of the Lamp. , The Norman Electric Light Company has at last succeeded in realising this ideal, of JLighJing. and" .there is,no doubt, thar^niis mosi' : important *" invention will' bring about a compteCe -revolution in all branches of lighting. OuTiElectric lampJVBKDS heith»r,Machinbby, Conductobs, nor any expensive outlay, and isi neither complicated nor dis agreeable in manipulation ; all, that is neces* , sary is to refil it ev^ry four or , five days witli acid. ,Tki cost of lighting will be as cheap as GAa (f cents per hour), and it his,, before the' latter the immense advan-, tage'of neither producing hjeat, smoke, nor carbonic' acid, owing to whion the air is not . impured, and remains at the same degree of temperature.-, It is further, absolutely inodorus, and does not • need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but by simply turning the. key, thus avoiding all dangpb.op fiee. 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.ipvaluable. It is further preferable "to any other 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 ) 'I hat it neither requires the disagreeable fixing. of the wick, nor the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (4) That the light produced is a soft and jQOBt r steady one; that it nerer flickers, and Hie flame, through, being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (5) That EVBEY DAKGBB OF FIEB IS ABSOLUTELY excluded, as the light will extinguish immediately if by. any accident the {rlass surrounding the burner should be broken. (6) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, 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 o pounds ; for lighting rooms, cell rs, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives ure kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines,' or any other industrial purpose. Price, LI per lamp, delivered free to any part of the world. B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This 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 size for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Buildings, etc. The lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is Krst-cluss and elegant. Price, £4 10s. Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faience, or Silver Oxide. Any special design made to order. Estimates furnished. Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged or the 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 the amount, or first-class references on a New York or Philadelphia house. All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and .will be sent securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chemicals, 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 at any Drug Store, in even the smallest village* Tue best method of' sending money is by draft on New York,/ which can be procured at any Banker's and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world. tST Our Electric Lamps are protected by Jaw, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted. - fl^ Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps wanted everywhere. No special knowledge or capital required. ' ' A fortune to be made by active persons. Address — THE NORM4N ELECTRIC LIGHT CO., Philadelphia, U.S.'of America. ,
