The Great Invention of the Age!-Steam Sup.
planted Gas Triumphant!
TIME first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as 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 be known
commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with IL 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 as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and ,havlng just received letters patent for his
'lmproved Carbonc Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the U.
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving of money ard 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-
gine has precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propellng agent, rom the sing e-horse power
for the coton-gln 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 iremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suffclng for the same power Of
I,9U0 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine Of twenty five (2j) horse power, now
''working well'' al Cincinnati, noticed IN the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ]. c. F. Solomon,
late OF this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonc acid gas, in its application to an engine,
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since gwen in the Nonpareii. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
lso, rights for the use of his "lmproyed Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can .rIght-about-face" a mano-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
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c may
be promptly obtained by addressing
