and with il viii pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
a. commencing the age Of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but TO EslIoHrEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it il 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 condemnation of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
sImproved CarbOnic Acid Eng inc, - now offers TO
dispose of rights for the use thereof to 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
Of this motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
ado option 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-
CINE has precluded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cot,on-gn to 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 fremen, and ofbulk and weight
100 tons weight suficing for the same power Of
,9OO tors OF the stear, ne.

''We are pleased to state that J C. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his
of carbonic acid gas in its application to engine.
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonparei The same
gentleman has received another patent for the
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he cam rIght-about-face man-of-war in less time

for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
