The Great Inve ntion OF the Age Steam Sup
planted! Gas Triumphant!
TIME first half ofthe nineteenth century will be
Il recorded the age of Steam. 1t has passed.
and with it 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 to ENLiGnrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. F. Salomon, after twenty six
years Of close observation upon the experiments
of his own and Of others in attenf is to make the
principle Of the condensation of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having Just received letters for his
81 proved Carbonic Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof to the u.
States government, and TO individuals or 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 e
of this new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
doption in all places where steam power now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
gine has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, rom the single-horse power
for the cottongin to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than tina
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
1900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"workng well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant:
"We are pleased to state that ] c. F. Salomon
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonc acid gas, in its 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 of the engineer, that
he "right-about-face" a man-of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns
| Also, rights for his 'lmproved Spring Saddle, y
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
be promptly obtained by addressing
