The Great Invention Of the Agei--Stesn Sup
ulxnted Cas- Triumphant!

V'HE first half Of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded us the age Of Steam. II has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with tn.
things that WERE
The second half Of the century will bs 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.. +. 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 condemnation of carbonIc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
;and having just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, !" now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u
States government, and to individuals to com.
panies, the rights Of States, 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 speed
adoption in all places where steam power is nov
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-.
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as Il propellmg agent, from the snge-horse power
for the cotton-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 hremen, and OF bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutfcing for the same power OF
900 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 Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that j G. +. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in It's application to an 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 propeing power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete
troll of he vessel independent of the engineer that
he can" right-aboutfa man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his ''lmproved 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
