rI,dE first half ofthe nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age of Steam. II has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that
| The second half of the century will be known
us commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but 10 ENLIGHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with il is now
introduced the Gas Engine
| Professor John G. +. Solomon, after twenty six
years of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and of others In attempts to make the
principle of the condensation Of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having Just received letters patent for his
"lmprovrd Carbonic Acid Eng inc, " now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the .
States government, and to individuals TO com
panies, the rights of States, countless cities.
The immense saving of money al Il 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 precuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single horse power
for the cotton-gn 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 fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suicing for the same power of
900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine of twenty five (15) horse power, now
"working well' AT Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We pleased to state that G.. f. Solomon,
late of this city, has ed patent for his Otor
Of carbonc acid gas, in its application to an engine
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given In the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelng power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
pellng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can'rght -about-flc man-of- war in less time
than is required TO load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
