/ Professor John c. +. Solomon, after twenty-slx
\ years OF close observation upon the experiments
Of his own and Of othersin attempts TO make the

gine has preciuded It's use.
! This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
as a propellng agent rom the sIngle-horse power
for the couon-gin 10 the Two thousand horsepower
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
Daces, fueI and fremen, and ofbuk and weight
