rnNHE first half of the ninetsenth century will bs
Il recorded as the age of Steam. II has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
AZ commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only TO light but to ENL'cHrrN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. F. 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 gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and Having just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Eng line, . now offers to
dispose of rights for the use 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 new 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 precluded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as Il propeing agent, from the singIe-horse power
for the cotton-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 6remen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suifcing for the same power Of
1900 tors of the stear. ne.
