vuyHE first half of the ninetssnth century will be
= recorded as 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
an commencing the age OF Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but TO EHLIoHrEH the world.
This age has nov commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
| Professor John C.. +. 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 condensation Of carbonc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproyrd Carbonic Acid Engine. now offers 10
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the IT,
States government, and to individuals or to COM
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 motor, will inevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power IL now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
CINE has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the slngle-horse power
for the cotton-gn to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, Of hOilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and ofbulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficng for the same power of
300 tons of the steam engine
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working wei' at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonparei Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ] C. F. Solomon,

not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and prOpeliIng pOWer,'
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
