TIME FIRST half OF the nineteenth century Will be
i recorded as the age Off Steam. IL 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 Csas--an agent destined
not only to hghl bat 70 ENLIGHrEA the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II rs now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. 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 condemnation of carbonIc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having Just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, - now offers to
dispose of rights for the use 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 new MOTOR will inevitably insure its 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-
CINE has precuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propelIing agent, rom the single-horse power
for the cotton-gn to'the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and hremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutiicng for the same power of
300 tors fthe stears ne
