vUvHE 6rst half of the nineteenth century viii b.
i recorded A. the age Of Steam. II has passed,
and with il will pass the steam engine with the
things that WERE e
The second half Of the century will DO known
as commencing the age OF GAs--an agent destined
not only to light but TO EALieHrEA The world.
This age has now commenced, and with II IL 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
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 10 individuals or to COM
panies the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving OF money ard Mbor, 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 now
used, and III thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propeing agent, from the single 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 ofbuk and weight
100 tons weight sufficng for the power OF
800 tc~a of the stears ne.
Tt ia.:. It's are es;.- by the experimental
engiz.s wenty-fre horse power, now
"work.Is well at Cl..-.mnati, as noticed. in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that J. C. F. Solomon,
late ofhis 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 Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the
ing and propeIling power"
Also, rights for the use of his 'Improved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe independents of the engineer, that
he an'rlght-about-face' man-of- war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his Improved Spring Saddle, y
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
