The Great Invention Of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted! Gas Triumphant!

TIME first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as The age ofSteam. II has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
as commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIcHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G.. 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 conde, sAtion of carbonc acid gus
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmprov-d Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof to the U.
States government, and to individuals to COM
panes, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
Tie 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.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the sing!e-horse power
for the coton-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
nnces, fuel and fremen, and bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutficing for the same power Of
800 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well' at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonparei of the
18th instant:
"We are pleased to state that J C. r. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
cf car bonc acid gas, in its application to an engine
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not Icing since given in the Nonparei. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his "lmproved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can right-about-face" manof-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
ANY information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing
