THB IATE3T AMERICAITIIfVENTIOIf 1 / THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. SINCE Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes, all efforts of inventors have been to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason wby this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas-lightiug, and that all have adhered to the system of produciug the Electricity in gome central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a lamp which shoula ever become generally useful and popular must be portable like an Oil Lamp, and contain the 1 generator of Electricity in itself, i.e., in the foot of the) Lamp. The Norman Electric I4gbt« Company has at last succeeded in realising this ideal of Electric Lighting, aud there' is no doubt that this most important invention will bring .'about a complete revolution in all branches of lightiqg. Our Electric lamp needs neither Machinkbt, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated nor dis agreeable in manipulation ; all that is necessary i« to refil it every tour or five days with acid. Thb cost of lighting will be 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 iuodorus, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise but by simply turning the key, thus avoiding all dangeb of fire, 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 in* ,va uable. 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) 'Ihatit 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 joost steady one ; that it never nickers, and the liame, through being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. (5) That EVERT DANGER OF FIEE IS ABSOLUTELY excluded, as the light will eitingnish 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, sto age 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. B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass GHobe. Price, per Lamp (inclusive of Bronze Foot , and Q-iobe, richly and elegantly constructed), £2, delivered free to any part of the world. G. 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.

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 O. The necessary chemicals can be purchased at any Drug 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 and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, go d coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world.
