not only TO igM but to ESLiGHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II ~ now
introduced the Gas Engine. 4tHifl.
Professor John C.. F. Solomon, after twenty Blk
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 az a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for has
s'lmproved Carbonc 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 It's 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.
I This new motor may be applied to all purposes

for the coton-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 fremen, and fbulk and weight

cf carbonic acid gas, in its application to an engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonparcil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his 'Tmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage ofwhich gives the pilot such complete con-
