The Great Invention Of The Age!-Steam Sup.
planted! Gns Triumphant!

TIME first half of the nineteenth century will be
l. recorded as The age 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 ENLrcHTEN 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 carbonc acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having Just received letters patent for his
Improvrd Carbonic 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, 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 precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
a propelling agent, from the sIngle-horse power
for the cotonlgn to the two thousand horse pow err
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 sufiicng 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 wel' at Cincinnati, ms noticed IN the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that J c. f. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for hls motor
of carbonic acid gas, in its application to an engine
The successful experiments OF this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpare The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelIing power"
Also rights for the use OF his "Improved Pro-
pelIing aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar adj
vantage ofwhich gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can" right-about-ace' man-oi-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
rider
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and of obtaining rights &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing
