planfedl Gas Triumphant!

fIttlE first half OF the nineteenth century VIII o.
recorded The age of Steam IL has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with thu
I things that
| The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light bat 70 EELIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with II rs now
introduced the Gas Engine.
/ Professor John G. +. Salomon after twenty six
| years OF close observation upon the experiments
OF his own aud of others in attempts to make the
principle of the condensation Of carbonic acid gas
available as mechanic MOTOR has perfected the
same and having Just received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonc Acid Engine, now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof TO the u
States government, and 10 individuals TO com
paDies, the rights of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving Of money ard labor and
OF human lives and suffering, secured by the us
of this motor, VIII inevitably insure It's speed Y
adoption 10 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 propelllng agent rom the slngle-horse power
for the cotton-gjn to the thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with tue expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and hremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suiiciDg for the same power OF
900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
'worltiDg well" al Cincinnati, noticed IN the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil OF the
18th instant
"We are pleased TO state that j 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 paten for The steer
ing and propeIling power"
Also, rights for the use of his ''lmproved Pro-
peIling aud Steering Apparatus, - one peculiar ad
vantage ofwhich gives the pilot such complete CON
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he can rlght-about-iace' man of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle -
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider

able Inventions, and Of obtaining rights, &c, may
