1 Il recorded he age of Steam II has passed,
and with il viii pass the steam engine with the
things that were
as commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only TO light but TO EHLicHTKs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II is 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 10 attempts TO make the
principle Of the condensation of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
''Improv-d Carbonc Acid Eng inc, y now offers TO
dispose of rights for the thereof TO the u.
States government, ard 10 individuals or to com
pauies, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
! The immense saving OF money al d 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-
gine has precluded Its use.
| Thus new motor may be applied to all purposes
az propeng agent, rom the snge-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 of bulk and weight
100 tons weight snffcing for the power OF

ing and propeng power"
Also, rights for the use of his 'lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar adj
