TIME Arst half of the ninesssnth century via b
i recorded as the age cfStsam. 1t has paused,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
not only to Hgha but to EsLioHTEA the world.
This age has now commenced, and with il IL now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. f. Solomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
Of hia o~n and of others in attempts to make the
principle OF the condemnation Of carbonc acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
'slmprovsd Carbonic Acid Eng inc, !" now offers 10
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 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 precIuded its use.
This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
as a propeling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotion-gn 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 of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power OF
300 tors of the stears ne.
