The Great Invention of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted! Gas Triumphant

FEEEE first half of the nineteenth century will be
4 recorded as age ofSteam. 1t has passed,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
as commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but TO ENLIGHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with it is 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 condensation of carbonic acid gas
available AS mechanic motor, has perfected the
and ,havng just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonc 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, cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the use
of this motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power is now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great ext ense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, rom the single-horSe power
for the cotton-gn to the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suticing for the same power Of
900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working wei" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant
ave are pleased to state that ]. c. f. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonic 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-
polling aud Steering Apparatus, /" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll Of he vessel, independence the engineer, that
he can right-about-face man-oi-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproyed Spring Saddle,
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
he promptly obtained by addressing
