The Great Invention Of the Agel-Steam Sup.
planted Gas Triumphant
| TIME first half of the nineteenth century will be
| Il recorded as lineage 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 ENLIcHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c.. f. 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 carbonc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
;and having Just received letters patent for his
| "Improved 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
as propelling agent, from the slngle-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 fremen, and ofbulk and weight
100 tons weight sutiicing for the same power Of
/ 900 tons ofthe 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
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ] c.. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in It's application to an engine
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar nd
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he cans'right about face man. war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle, J"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider

able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &C., may
