TIME FIRST half of the ninstssnth century wtl b.
i recorded a. The age ofSteam. II has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
Tks second half Of the century viii b known
al commencing the age OF Gas--an agent destined
not oniy 10 tis& but TO ENLioHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II Is now
introduced the Gas Engine. ~
Professor John c.. r. Saiomon, after twenty-s
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 az a mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, nov offers TO
dispose of rights for the use thereof TO the U.
States government, and to individuals or to COM
panies, the rights of Staten, counties, or 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 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 precuded its use. ,n.yv C.e s-F,t
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as prOPelling agent, rom the sing'e-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
100 tons weight suflicing for the same power Of

Of carbonic acid gas, in it's 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
