the Great invocation OF the Age Is steam
supplanted Gas Triumphant
VIE hrst III VI The nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age of steam. IL has passed,
aud with il will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century win be known as
commencing the age OF Gas-an agent destined not
only to hgM but TO ESLIGaTEs the world. This
age has now commenced, and with IL is now intro.
duccd the Gas Engine.
Professor John e. f Solomon, after twenty blk
years Of close observation upon the experiments Of
his own and OF others in attempts to make the prin-
cIpie OF the OF rbonic acid gas avail
able as a mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having just received leters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Engine" now offers 10
dispose OF rights for the thereof to the United
States Government. and 10 individuals or to com
panies. the rights of States. counties, 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 precluded its use
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
asa propelling agent, from the sing horse power
for the cotton gin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers with the expense less than that
required by the steam engne, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and 6remen. and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufhcing 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 WE'LL at Cincinnati as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareii of the 18th

ave are pleased to state that J. c. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas in its application to an en-
CINE The successful experiments of this inven.
lion were not long since given in the Nonpayeii.
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his 'Improved Pro-
pelling and Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage OF which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll of the weasel independent of the engineer that
be can Fright about face man Of war in less
time than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider.
