The second half Of the century will be known
a. commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to EHLIoHrsH the world
This age has now commenced, and with il is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G.. 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 carbonic acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonc Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose OF rights for the use thereof to the U
States government, and to individuals or 10 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 VI {
of this new motor, will inevitably insure its speed
adoption in all places where steam power IL 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
az propelling agent rom the singIe-horse power
for the cottongin 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
800 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 Nonpareil Of the
18th instant:
"We are pleased to state that j. C. +. Solomon.
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in It's application to engine
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the of his "lmproved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus, - one peculiar ad-
vantage which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll oft he vesse, independent of the engineer that
he cam right-about- face man 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

able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
