The Great Invention or the Age Steam
SuppInnted Gas TrIumpha ut!

THE first AT of the nineteenth century will be
L recorded as the age OF steam. IL has passed
and with 1t will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of he century will be known as
commencing the age OF Gas-an agent destined not
only 10 light but TO ESLlGHTEN the world. This
age has now commenced, and with II Is now intro
duced the Gas Engine.
Professor John e. +. Solomon, after twenty six
years of close observation upon the experiments Of
his and of others in attempts to make the prin-
ciple of the condensation OF carbonc acid gas avail
able as a mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having Just received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonc Acid Engine" now offers TO
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the United
States Government, and to individuals or TO COM
panies, 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, 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 precluded its
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propeflng agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotton gin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, OF boilers and Iur-
naces, fuel and hremen. and OF bulk and weight
100 tons weight suthcng for the same power oi
J 900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine Of twenty five (25) horse power, now
working WELL at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NonpareiIofth the 18th
Instant
'sWe pleased to state that J. c. F. Salomonl
late Of this city has received patent for his motor
of carbonc acid gas, in it's application to an en-
CINE. The successful experiments OF this lnven-
ton not long since given in the Nonpareil.
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propelllng power"

peling and Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage OF which gives the pilot such complete CON
troll of the vessel, independent OF the engineer, that
he can fright about face" a man of war in less
time than is required TO load her guns.
Also, rights for his 'Improved Spring Saddle

the greatest possible comfort OF both horse and
