supptanted Gas triumphant!
r1siiE fret bali Of the nineteenth century Will be
j ~. orded sa the age Of steam. II has passed

The second half of the century will be known as
commencing the age of Cas-an agent destined not
only 10 iigaf but to EsLiSHrKN the world. This
age has nov commenced, and with 1t is now intro
duc.d the Gas Engine.
Professor John &. r. Solomon, after twenty
years OF close observation upon the experiments OF
his own and oi others In attempts to make the prin
cple oi the condemnation Of carbonic acid gas avail
ablc as a mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having just received letters patent for his
''inproved carhonic Acid Engine" now offers to
dispose VI rights for the thereof to the United
states Government, and to individuals or to COM
psncs. 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. viii inevitably insure its speedy
adoption Ia all places where steam power Is now
uaed, and ia thousands Of other places where the
great expense, bulk. and weight OF the steam en-
gine has prcciuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propciiing agent, from the single horse power
for the cotton gin the two thousand horse power
iOr ocean steamers with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, OF boilers and fur
nnces, fuel and fremen, and OF bulk and weight
100 tons weight sothcng for the same power OF
9p0 tons VI the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine OF twenty five (25) horse power, now
"sorking wol' at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonparei of the 18th
ins,ant
1--WE are pleased to state that ]. c. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
oi carbonic acid gas, la its application to an en-
Eine. The successful experiments OF this inven
tlon were not long since given in the NonpdretI.
The came gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propelling power"
Aiso, rights for the usc of his "1mproved Pro-
pellinR and Steering Apparatus," one peculiar ad-
vantage OF which gives the pilot such complete con
troll Of vessel independent Of the engineer that
he can fright about lace a man-oi-war in less
time than is required 10 load her guns.
