TINE ART half Of the ninstsenth century will b
recorded AZ the age ofStsam. II has paused,
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 HgM but TO ENLieHTES 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
same and having just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the 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-
CINE has precluded its use.
| This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propelling agent, from the slngle-horse power
for the cottongin to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and ofbulk and weight
100 tons weight suHicing for the same power Of
| 300 tors of the stearpS q, ne.

"We are pleased to state that J. C. FADaomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor

The successful experiments of this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonparei. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer

Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus, - one peculiar ad-

troll ofthe vessel independents of the engineer, that
he can"rght-about-face" man. of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle, 4"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
