The Great Invention Of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted Gas Triumphant!

Iv\HE hrst half OF the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded AS The age of Steam. 1t has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
as commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
| not only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. f. Salomon 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 as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and Having just received letters patent for his
"lmprovrd Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose. of rights for the thereof to the u
States government, and 10 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 this motor, will inevitably insure its speed Y
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 precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cottongin 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 6remen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficng for the same power of
1900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NonpareiI Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ] C.. F. Solomon,
late Of this 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 steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
polling 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 "lmproved Spring Saddle, Z"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &C., may
be promptly obtained by addressing
