The Great Invention OF the Age!-steam Sup
planted! Gas Triumphant!

tI,HE first half of the nineteenth century will be
u recorded as The age of Steam. IL has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
as commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to tight but to ESLIcHrEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with Il is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. +. Solomon, after twenty-sx
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 a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just rseiyed letters patent for his
''Improvrd Carbonic Aci Engine, nov offe-s TO
dispose Of rights for tlse use H. FREQ 20 the U.
States government, and 20 individuals o. D COM
panies, the rights Of States, counties, cities.
The immense saving or money ard labor, and
OF human lives and suffering, secured by the use
OF this new MOTOR will inevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands OF other places where the
great ex pense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
gine has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
Of propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotlongin 10 the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
REQUIRED by the steam engine, Of boilers and fur
paces. fuel and 6remen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutiicing 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
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil OF the
18th instant:
eve are pleased TO state that J. c. r. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of csrbonc acid gas, in iis application TO an engine.
The successful experiments Of tins Invention were
not long since given in the Nonparei. The same
geneman bee received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "lmproved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage Of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel ,Independentof the engineer, that
he man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his ''lmproved Spring Saddle, J"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above invaIu-
able inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing {.
