Supplanted Gas Triumphant!
INHE first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age OF steam II 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 ENLisHrEs the world This
age has now commenced, and with it ia now intro
duced the Gas Engine.
Professor John Z. +. Solomon, after twenty six
years oil close observation upon the experiments Of
his own and OF others in attempts 10 make the prin-
cple OF the condensation of oonc acid gas avail
able as a mechanic motor, has perfected the same
and, having Jus. received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Engine" now offers to
disposc OF rights for the thereof to the United
States Government, and TO individuals to COM
panles. the rights of States. counties. cities.
The immense saving OF money and labor, and Of
| human hives and suffering, secured By the Of
this pew motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power ia now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
! great expense bulk and weight of the steam en-
/ CINE hGs precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as prupelling agent, from the sin gle 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 aud for
nsces, fuel and hremen, and Of bulk and weight
! lOD tons weight sutiicing for the same power OF
/ 800 tons OF the steam engine,
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty FIVE (25) horse power, now
"working wellr at Cincinnati. as noticed in the
|
| instant.
owe arc pleased TO state that J. c. F. Solomon
late of this city has received patent for his motor
OF carbonic acid gas, in its application TO
CINE. The successful experiments Of this invon-
ton were not long since given in the Nonparen
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propelhng power
Also, rights Tor the OF his Improved Pro-
pclling and Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage Of which gives the pilot such complete con
troll OF the vessel, independent of the engineer, that
he can Fright about face" a man of war in loss
| time than is required TO load her guns.
| Also, rights for bic "Improved Spring Saddle"
