SuppIanted!-Cns Triumphant!
yINIE first half OF the nineteenth century will be
l. recorded rs the age OF steam. 1t has passed,
and with II will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The secoud half uf the century will be known as
commencing the age of Gas-an agent destined not
only to light but to ENLIGHTEN the world. This
age has now CONNIE need and with 1t is now intro
duced the Gas Engine
Professor John C. F. SaIornon, after twenty six
years OF close observation upon the experiments OF
his own and of others in attempts to make the Prln
ciple of the condemnation of carbonic acid gas avail
able as mechanic motor, hac perfected the same;
and, having just received letterc patent for his
"Improved Carbonc Acid Engine" now offers to
dispose Of rights for the thereof to the United
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 lves and suffering, secured by the use OF
this motor, will inevitably insure it's speedy
adoption in all places where steani power Is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
ginc has precluded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propeiling agent, from the single 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 firemen, aud of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutiicing for the same power OF
900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
following from the Cincinnati Nonpdrei Of the 18th
instant:
awe are pleased to state that J. c. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbOnic acid gas, in its application to an en-
gine. The successful experiments OF this inven-
ton were not long since given In the Nonpareii.
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use OF his Improved Pro-
peiIing and Steering Apparatus one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll OF the vessel, independent of the engineer that
he can "rght- about tace'' a man-of-war IN less
time than is required 10 load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort ot both horse and
rider.

able Inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c may
