The Great Inyentien Of tho Age!-Steah Sup

pIanteA Gas TF1uDphAnf!
TINE fret half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded az the age of Steam. Il has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were. b
The second half of the century will be known
es commencing the age OF Gas-an agent destined
not only 70 light but to ENLtcHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with 1t IL now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. f. Solomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own aud of others in attempts to make the
principle or the condensation OF carbonjc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the 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 this 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 precuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single 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 sutficing for the same power of
900 tons Of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working well" at CINCINNATI noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare Of the
18th instant:
"We pleased to state that J c. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas in its application to engine
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonparei The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"

polling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar add
