vuNIi first half Of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded he age of Steam. 1t has passed
and with il will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as comm enciDg the age OF Gas--an agent destined
not only TO light but ENiIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with il Is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c.. f. Saomon after twenty six
years Of close observation upon The experiments
of his own and of others in attempts to make Lhe
principle of the condensation Of carbonc acid gas
available MECHANIC motor has perfected the
same and ina wing Just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u
States government, and to individuals TO com
panies, the rights Of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving Of money al labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the u
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 expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied 10 all purposes
propelling agent, rom the slngle-horse power
for the cottongin 10 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 iiremen, and OF bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufticing for the same power of
!, 900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
''working well al Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ], c. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
OF carbonic acid gas, IN It's application to an engine.
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, 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 the engineer, that
he cam rIght-about-face" f-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
