The Great Invention Of the Agc!-Steam Sup
pIantedl Gas Triumphant!
TIME first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as thea age ofSteam. 1t has passed !,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century will DO known
| as commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C. F. 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 mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, !" now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u
|
panes, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the Us
of this motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
prOpelling agent, from the slngle-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 suficing for the same power of
! 900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonparel Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that J C. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
carbonic acid gas in its application to engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another pate for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the of his "lmproved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete
troll oft he vessel independents Of the engineer, that
he can"rIgh t-aboul-face man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle, I"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above nvalu-
able inventions, and. Of obtaining rights, &C., may
be promptly obtained by addressing
