vrvF7H 6rat half Of the nipstsspsh century win b
i recorded az the age ofStsam. II has paused,
and with il will pass the steam engine With ths
things that were.
| The second half Of the century will be known
a. commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to EhLioHTkh the world
This age has now commenced, and with 1t ~ 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 mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having Just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof 10 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 Us e
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 precluded its USE
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelIng agent, rom 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 6remen, and of bulk and weight
| 100 tons weight suficing for the same power OF
] 900 tors of the stearr ne.

Also, rights for the use Of his "Improved Pro-
