The Great Invention Of the Age steam
SuppIantcd!--GasT Triumphant!
THE first hali Of the nineteenth century will be
i recorded as the age of steam. IL has passed,
and with II will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
commencing the age OF Gas-an agent destined not
only to light but to ENLiGHTEN the world. This
age has now commenced, and with it lie now intro
duced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. F. Solomon, after twenty six
years OF cosc observation upon the experiments OF
his own and Of others in attempts to make the prin-
cpe OF the condensation OF carbonic acid gas avail
able as mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having just received letters patent for his
'Improvcd Carbonic Acid Engine" now offers to
dispose Of rights for the use thereof 10 the United
States Government and to individuals or to COM
panes. 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 new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in oil places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense bulk, and weight oi the steam en-
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propclipg agent, from the single horse power
for the cotton gin 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 firemen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
! 900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts established by the experiment tai
engine of twenty five (25) horse power, now
working well" at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NonpWs'iof the 18th
instant:
awe are pleased to etatc that J. c. f. Salomon.

ton were not long since given in the Nonpdreii.
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use OF bis "lmproved Pro-
