FKvIIE FIRST half Of the nineteensh century viii b
- recorded as the age al Sss&m. It hsi passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century will be known
az commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only 10 light but to ENLIcHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with il 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 carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
''lmproved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, " 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.
The immense saving of money and 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 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, from the singe-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 boilers and fur
naces, fuel and hremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutfcing for the same power of
900 tors of the steay< mine.

following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the

"Ws are pleased to state that J. c. EASalomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonic acid gas, in its application to an engine
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the NonpareiI. 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 (which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he right-about-face man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved 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
