The second half of the century will bs known
a. commencing the age Of Gns--an agent destinet
not only to light but to ENLicHrEn the world
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. f. Solomon, after twenty-si
years Of close observation upon the experiment.
of his own and of others in attempts to make tn.
principle Of the condensation of carbonic acid gai
available as mechanic motor, has perfected tn.
and having Just received letters patent for hii
"lmprovrd Carbohic Acid Eng inc, !" now offers tc
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u
States government, and to individuals to com
paDes, 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 thus new motor will inevitably insure its SPEEDY
adoption in all places where steam power Is nov
used, and in thousands Of other places where the
great Expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-.
CINE has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the coton-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
naces, fuel and 6remen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutficng for the same power Of
300 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 Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We 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 were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
ms ivedu ppf hi for fhoo
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll oft he vessel independents of the engineer that
he "rght-about- face" man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle, .
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
