The Electric Lighter.
One of the most delightful of the
minor accessories that electricity
furnishes to the household is newly
invented Electric Lighter" This
is beautiful ornament, always in
stantly responsive to call for lights
and of valuable service in other
ways.
1t is operated by pressing the but
ton at the top of the centre rod,
when the light instantly appears at
the opening under the ornament up
on the upper band. It is OF polished
nickel plate, six inches high and oc-
cupies only six square inches on the
table or mantel. 1t can be readily
taken to pieces and as easily read
justed to working order. It needs
no wires or connections, the electric
ity being generated by chemical &C.
ton within the cylinder. 1t is per-
fectly safe, and a child can operate
it.
The material used in the battery
is sold by every druggist, and a
charge costing but loo. is sufficient
to keep it in constant service for
thirty or sixty days. With usual
care it will last a lifetime and if it
should become disabled by an un-
fortunate tumble, any damaged part
can be replaced at a trifing expense.
1t is a most desirable companion
for the merchant OF lawyer, the pro-
fessional man, the student, as we'll
as the housewife, and it's neatness
and quick responsiveness recommend
it to all.
Though originally designed simply
for lighter, it has been found prac-
ticable to add several useful acces-
SORES. A medical coil with hand
electrodes can be readily attached,
by which either gentle or sharp cleo
trio shocks can be given to a men,
Der OF the family afflicted with ner-
vous affections, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, lumbago, sciatica, headache,
etc. This attachment can also be
connected by wire to the doors and
windows of the house, thus provid-
ing the homestead with a complete
and perfectly reliable electric burglar
alarm, or if in a city it can be con-
nected with street wire to the near
est police station. The price of the
medical coil is So 80.
Another adjunct is the call bell,
which is operated by pushing down
the central rod, as in dinner table
or call bell. The price of this with
100 feet OF wire, is but $125
The merits of this invention can
not properly be described in a news
paper article. It's beauty, quick
service and simplicity of construc-
ton make it an instant favOrite.
