The Great Invention OF the Age!-SteaIsl
supplanted Gas Triumphnntl

Supptantedt-Gas Triumphant!
TINE first half of the nineteenth century will be
IL recorded the age of steam Ii has passed
and with IL will pass the steam engine with the
lhings that were
The second half of the century will be known as
commencing the age OF Gas--an agent destined not
only 10 light but to ESLIGHTEN the world This
age has now commenced, and with it is now intro
duccd the Gas Engine.
Professor John G. f. Solomon, after twenty six
years OF close obSer walton upon the experiments OF
his and of others in attempts To make the prin.
cipie of the condensatonof carbonic acid gas avail
able as mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having just received letters patent for his
'1mproved Carbonic Acid Engine" now offers TO
dispose Of rights for the use thereof to the United
States Government and 10 individuals or TO COM
panies the rights OF States. counties, or cities.
The immense saving of money and labor, and of
human lives and suffering, secured by the use of
this new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has prccuded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
AS propellIng agent from the single horse power
for the cottongin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and firemen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
], 900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty five (25) horse power, now
working well" at Cincinnati as noticed III the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareio of the 18th
Instant
eve are pleased TO state that j. G. f. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonic acid gas, in its application to
CINE. The successful experiments of this inven-
ton were not long since given in the NonpareiI.
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propclling power"
lao, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
pelling and Steering Apparatus one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete CON
troll OF the vessel independent of the engineer that
he "right about facet man f-war in less
time than is required TO load her guns.
Also, rights for his ''Improycd Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
rider.
