TIME first half of the nineteenth century will b>
i recorded MS the age of Stsam. 1t has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with ths
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
az commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but TO ENLicHrrN the world
This age has now commenced, and with it 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
''lmproyed Carbonic Acid Eng CINE, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u,
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panes, 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 tins new motor will inevitably insure its speed v
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 It's use.
This motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propelling gent, from the single-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 tiremen, and ofbuk and weight
lOO tons weight sufficIng for the same power of
300 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working wei" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NonpareiI of the
18th instant
''We are pleased TO state that J G.. f. Solomon
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
eff carbonic acid gas in It's application to an engine
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the NonpareI. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
pellng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel, independent of the engineer that
he "right-about-face man Of 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
