ruSHE first half of the nineteenth century will bs
Il recorded as the age ofsteam. II has passed
and with it viii pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century Will be known
as commencing the age Of Cas-an agent destined
not only to hght but TO EkLIGHTEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II rs 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 mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having Just received letters patent for his
'lmproved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers TO
dispose of rights for the use thereof TO the u.
States government, and to individuals or TO COM
panes, 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 tins new motor, will inevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power 10 now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight OF the steam en-
CINE has precuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelllng agent rom the slngle-horse power
for the cotton-gln 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 of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sulicing 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, az noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NonparelI Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that J C. F. Solomon,
late of this city has received patent for his
of carbonic acid gas, 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
ing and propelllng power"
Also, rights for the of his "lmproved Pro-
pelllng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage ofwhlch gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he cam right-about-face If 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 invaIu-
able Inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing

ground boween the hasty, dislonted and necessarily

are Tory the edinburgh Review Whig and
the &c Westminster Review Liberal. The q North
