TIME first half of the nineteenth century will b
- recorded ~ The age ofDteam. II has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with ths
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
a. commencing the age Of Gns--an agent destined
not only TO Aght but TO EHL'oHTEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it 10 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 carbonic acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having Just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonc Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof 70 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 speedy
adoption in all places where steam power IL 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 single-horse power
for the cottongin 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
l0O tons weight suficing for the same power Of
800 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (S5) horse power, now
''working well" at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare of the
18th instant
"We 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 engine.
The successful experiments of this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
husr ivpIn thprn fsn M for tho
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his "lmproved Pro-
pelng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independents the engineer that
he can right-aboul- face" a manof war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "improved Spring Saddle, -
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of~both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c, may
