vvNEE FIRST half of the nineteenth century VIII De
l. recorded the age ofsteam. 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 rNLIcHTEs the world
This age has now commenced, and with 1t rs now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c.. f Saiomon, after twenty-six
years of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and of others in attempts 10 make the
principle of the condensation of carbonc acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having lust received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic A cid Eng " now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof 10 the u.
States government, and TO individuals on TO COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, 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 ts speedy
adoption in all places where steam power rs now
used and IN thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
CINE has precuded IFS use.
This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
propelling 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 fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficng for the same power of
200 tors of the stea"F ne.
