THE LITEST AMERICAN INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINCE Electricity lias been applied for lighting purposes. aIL efforts of inventors have been to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why this j problem has till now not been solved, is j that nono of tbe inventors could rid themgehea of the idea of gas-lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in lome 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 contain the generator of. Electricity in itself, It, Yin the foot of the "Lamp. The Norman Electric ' Light Company has at last succeeded^itt-i-ealising 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 heeds neithee Machixeby, CONDUCTOBS t nor any expensive, outlay, arid,' is neither nor dis - agreeable in manipulation fall thatis necessary is'td refil it every tour or five days with acid. Thb cost of lighting will bb AS cheap AS gas (| 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 inodorus, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise but by simply turning the key, thus avoiding all dangeb of fibb, explosion, or suffocation, as in the case of gas 1 if the key is left open ; and it must be conceded that this advantage! alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any other kind of lighting for the following reasoD3 : (1) Its manipulation is 30 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) 1 hat it neither requires the disagreeable fixing of the wick, nor th" cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps. (4) That the light produced is a soft and AOBt steady' one ; that it never flickers, and the flame,' through being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (5) That EVERY DANGBB OF FIBE IS ABSO lutbly EXOMTDBD, as the' light will extinguish immediately if by any accident the glass 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 j ' weight about 5 pounds ; for lighting rooms, cell rs, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, LI per lamp, delivered free to any part of the world. s,' 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-G^obe, 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 first-class 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 oiders from abiood 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 pxtra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and O. The neceuary' chemicals can be purchased at any Drag Store, in even the smallest village. Tne best, method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker's nnd everywhere, or encloae the amount in Bank notes, god coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world. I^Our Electric Lamps are protected by Jaw, and all imitations and infringements will be prosecuted. $g- Agents, Salesmen on Commission, and Consignees for our Lamps wanted every where. No special knowledge or capital required. A' fortune to be made by active persons. Address — THE NORMAN ELECTRIC LIGHT CO., Philadelphia, U.S. of America.

D.I.C. NOTICE. TO OUR COUNTRY CUSTOMERS. SEEING the success which has attended our system of doing business, CERTAIN TRADERS Have closely imitated the name of our Company and opened up business in various country places, leading the public to infer that they are branches of our DUNEDIN ESTABLISHMENT. We, therefore, wish to impress upon every one that we have NO COUNTRY BRANCHES. We have only two Warehouses — viz., HIGH STREET, DUNEDIN, AND OASHEL STREET, CHRISTCHURCH — for the distribution of our Goods. 1 B. HALLENSTEIN, Chairman of Directors.
