QsHE hrse half Of the niaetsenth century viii b.
i recorded az the age ofatsam. II has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with thu
The second half Of the century will be known
AZ commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only TO light but 70 EHLi0Hrxh the world
This age has now commenced, and with it u now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C. +. 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 ga1
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Eng Inc, +" now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof 70 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 xpense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
gine has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
| as propeing agent, rom the singe-horse power
for the cotton-gin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than thai
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
| 100 tons weight suffcing for the same power OF
| 300 tors of the stears ne.

''We are pleased to state that J. C. F. Solomon
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonc acid gas, III its application to engine
The successful experiments Of this Invention were

gentleman has received another patent for the steer

Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
peling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can ght-abou face" man-of- 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
