vsNHE first half Of the nineteenth century viii De
4 recorded as the age of Steam. 1t has passed
and with II 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 10 EHLIGHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with IL IS now
Introduced The Gas Engine.
Professor John G.. +. Solomon, after twenty -six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his 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 lust received letters patent for his
"lmprovsd Carbonic Acid CINE, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof TO the u.
States government, and To individuals To com
panes, the rights OF States, counties, cities.
The immense saving Of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the use
of thus new motor will inevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power rs now
used, and IN thousands of other pacas where the
great expense, bulk, and weight OF the steam en-
gine has precluded It's use.
THIS new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propellIng agent, rom the single-horse power
for the cotlongin 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 frefnen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutiicIng for the same power of
300 tors of the stear. ne.

ing and propelling power"
Aso, rights for the use of his ''lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus, " one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer, that
he can right-about-face' man-of-war IN less time
than is required to load her guns.
