THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION I THB VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY 1 SINCE Electricity has been applied or lighting purpose*, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp or general domestic use. The reason why this problem bas till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and tbat all have adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some central place, or by Urge machinery, instead of firrt laying down the principal 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, i.e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realising 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 needt 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 cott of lighting will he at cheap at gat (f 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 fnrther, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, i but simply by turning ih»- key. thub avoiding all danger of fire, explobion or suffocation as in the case of gas, if the key is left open , and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons : (1.) Its manipulation is so simple tbat 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 the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning 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 flarre, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be legulated to any degree. (5.) Tbat every danger of fire it absolulutely excluded, as the light will extinguish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner Hhould be broken. (6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illumination, 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 5 pounds ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage bouse?, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines or any other industrial purpose. Price £1. Per Lamp, delivered free to any part 'of the world. r B, medium size. Serves all domestic pur poses for lighting rooms, house?, etc. Thi Lamp, is elegantly deco-ated, aiid bas remov able 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.
