THE
S
THE LATEST AMERICAN INVENTION.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY.
INCE Electricity has been applied for light- ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic nse. The reason why this problem has till now not been 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 cential 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, e., in the foot of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realizing 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 light- ing.
Our Electric Lamp, needs neither Machi- nery, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreable 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 as gas ( cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- mense 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 inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, ex- plosion or suffocation, as in the case of 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 light- ing for the following reasons:
gas,
(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.) That it neither requires the disagrecable 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 aud 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 imme- diately, 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 inva- luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes :-
Address:
A, small size. Height of complete Lamp, 14 inches; weight, about 5 pounds; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, 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.
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 Building, &c. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, aud the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price £4.10. -.
Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faïence or Silver Oxide.
Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.
All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, secur y 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 che- micals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village.
Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or money refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.
On all orders for six Lamps and above, S 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.
The best method of sending money is by draft on New York, which can be procured at any Banker, and everywhere, or enclose the amount in Bank notes, gold coins, or postage stamps of any country of the world,
All orders, the smallest, as well as the most attention, and will be forwarded without de... important, will receive the same partier las
