dispose Of rights for the use thereof to the U
States government, and TO individuals or TO com.
panies, the rights Of States, counties, cities.
The immense saving Of money ar d labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the use
Of this motor, will inevitably insure it's speed y
adoption in all places where steam power rs now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
CINE has precIuded It's USE
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent from the sngle-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 fremen, and Of bulk and weight
MO tons weight sutIicing for the same power OF
], 800 tons ofthe steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
'working wei" al Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpnreil 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 carbonic acid gus, in its 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 propelling power.
Also, rights for the of his improved 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 can' right-about-fce man-Qf war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his Improved Spring Saddle, F."
for military and common purposes, designed for
rider
