vGVHE arst half of the nineteenth century viii be
Il recorded a. the age ofSteani. II has passed,
and with il win pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century will be known
commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but to EHLIGHTEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II IL now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. F. Saomon 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 az mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonc Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose Of rights for the thereof to the U.
States government, and to individuals or to conf
panies, 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 precluded its USE
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 iremen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutfcing for the same power Of
800 tors of the stearv ne.
