This are has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C. 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 condensation Of carbonc acid gas
available as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u.
States government, and TO individuals or 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 v
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 precluded its use. f . /
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as prOpelling AGENT from the singie-horse power
for the cottongin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers with the expense less than that
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suhicing 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

ing and propelling power"
