ruNHE first half of the nineteenth century Will be
Il recorded as the age ofSteam. Il 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 ENLicHrEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with IL is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G.. +. 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 carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and havingju just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the Y.
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 motor, will inevitably insure It's 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 propelIlng agent, rom the single-horse power
for the cotton-gin to the two thousand horsepower
for 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

The successful experiments of this invention were
