rVyHE first half of the nineteenth century will be
u recorded as the age ofSteam Il has passed,
and with 1t will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age OF Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to EsLIcHrEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it il now
introduced the Gas Engine.
| Professor John c.. r. 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 carbonic acid gas
| available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproyed Carbonc Acid Engine 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, cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the
Of this new motor, will inevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power now
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 propelling agent, from the sngle-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
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suffcing for the same power Of
300 tons of the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine Of twenty five (25) horse power, now
working well' at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareii Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased TO state that ]. G.. +. Salomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gas, in It's application to engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the NonpareiI. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propeng power"
