TIME first half Of the nineteenth century will be
u 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 bs known
az commencing the age of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but to EsI'cHrEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with 1t IL now
introduced the Gas Engine.
| Professor John &. F. Solomon, after twenty-a X
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and Of others in attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation of carb0nc ncid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having just received letters patent for his
'Improved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, = now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the IT,
States government, and to individuals or TO COM
panes, the rights of Stntes, counties, or cities
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the us E
Of this motor will inevitably insure its speed
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 coton-gn to the two thousand horse pow er
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremeD, and fbulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power Of
800 tons of the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working we'' ut Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonparei of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that j c. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
eff carbonc acid gas, its application an engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
peing aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll of he vessel independent of the engineer that
he ''right-abou-face d man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle,
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider

able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &C., may
