The Great Invention Of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted Gas Triumphant!
yg'HE first hall Of the nineteenth century will be
i. recorded lineage of Steam. 1t has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. f. Solomon, after twenty
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and of others IN attempts to make the
principle of the condensation of carbonlc acid gas
available as a 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 thereof to the U.
States government, and to individuals to COM
panies the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving of money al d labor and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the
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
glne has precluded lis use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propeing agent, rom the slngle-horse power
for the cotion-gin to the TWO thousand horse power
FOR ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
paces, fuel and 6remen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suffcing for the same power of
800 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare of the
18th instant:
awe are pleased to state that J C. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonc acid gas in its application to engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention
not long since given in the Nonparell. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelng power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage Of which gives the pilot such complete
troll oft be vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can 'rght-about-face a man-o-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

able Inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c, may
