rHNt1E first half of the nineteenth century will be
/ i recorded as the age of Steam. II has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the

as commencing the age of Csas--an agent destined
not only to light bat to ENLIcHrEs the world
Z This age has now commenced, and with II rs now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G.. +. Solomon, after twenty-s
years OF close observation upon the experiments
of his own and of others ia attempts TO make the
principle of the condensation of carbonc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Engine, 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 use
of this new MOTOR wlllineviably 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
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cottongin 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 hremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suiicing for the same power Of
300 tors of the stea'r ne.
