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 use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solved, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gay 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, i, e., in the foot of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Co. has at Inst 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 (3 cents per hour), and it has before the latter the im- inense advantage of neither producing heut. 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 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 light- ing 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.) That it neither requires the disagreeable

WITH reference to the above, I have this
day established myself at this place,
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 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 barn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being inva- luable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc.
