Professor John c. f. Solomon. sner twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and Of others in attempts 10 make the
principle Of the condemnation OF carbonic acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same nnd just received letters patent for his
"lmprovrd Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers 70
dispose of rights for the use thereof To the u.
States government, and tn 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 ~ 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.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as prOpelling agent, from the singie-horde power
for the colton-gin 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 firemen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suicing for the same power OF
800 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well'' al Cincinnati, as noticed IN the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpsreil Of the
18th instant:
"We are pleased to state that J C. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in it's application TO an engine.
The successful experiments OF this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
bus cd nj he xfe
ing and propeng power"
Also, rights for the Of his "lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete
troll he vessel independent of the engineer that
he "righi-about-face" man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also rights for his 'lmproved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
rider
