1'HE FIRST half of the nineteenth century will b
II recorded as The age Of Steam. IL has passed
and with ii will pass the steam engine with tn
things that were.
The second half of the century will be know
as commencing the age of Gas--an agent destine'
not only TO light but to EsLiGHrEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with ii il nov
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G. +. Solomon, after twenty-si,
years of close observation upon the experiment.
OF his own and of others in attempts to make tn
principle oRthe condensation of carbonc acid ga
available mechanic motor, has perfected thu

"lmproyvd Carbonc Acid Eng inc, F" now offers Il
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the U
States government, and to individuals to com
panies, the rights of States, counties, or cities
The immense saving Of money al labor, anl
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the u.s.
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-
gine has precluded It's use. it
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propelling agent, from the singe-horse power
for the coton-gin 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 firemen, and of bulk and weg hit
100 tons weight suliicing 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 well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the

gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propeing power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
