The Great Invention Of the Age!-Stcam Sup
planted Gas Triumphant
'lNHE first half of The nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age of Steam. 1t 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 ENLiGHrEN the world
This age has now commenced and with it is 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 condensation of carbonc acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
'Improved Carbonc Acid Eng ine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof to the U
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, or cities
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the u e
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 It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propeing agent, rom the single-horse power
for the coton-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 fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suihcing for the same power Of
l,9O0 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NoDpareil Of the
18th instant
ave are pleased to state that ]. c. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
of cal onic acid gas, in its application to engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus, one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll oft he vessel independent Of the engineer, that
he can' right-about- face" man-ofwar in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle, y
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above nvalu-
able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing
