and with il will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century will be known
a. commencing The age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to Eight but to xELIcHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II 10 now
introduced the Gas Engine. W. az
Professor John G. r. Solomon, AFTER twenty -sx
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 as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
"Improysd Carb0nic Acid Engine" 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, willnevilably 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 prscluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propeling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotton-gn 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
800 tors Of the steans ne.

following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ] C. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gss in it's application to an engine.
The successful experiments Of this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelIing 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 ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he an"right-aboN-face' man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improyed Spring Saddle, -
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
