pianteA Gas Trinmphant!
ruvfiE rst half Of the nineteenth century will be
u recorded al the age ofSteam. II has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
AZ commencing the age of Gas-an agent destined
not only TO light but to ENLI0HrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. F. Solomon, after twenty -sx
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his 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 having just received letters patent for his
'lmproycd Carbonic Acid Eng inc, 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, cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
OF human lives and suffering, secured by the use
of this MOTOR will inevitably insure it's 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 precuded its
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propelling agent, from the sing le-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
Daces, fuel and hremen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
300 tons Of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working vel" at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare of the
18th instant
"We 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 engine.
The successful experiments OF this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonparei The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the Of his "lmproved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage OF which gives the pilot such complete
troll of he vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can''r ight-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

able Inventions, and of obtaining rights, &C., NAV
