planteA! Gas Triumphant
TuVHE frat half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age ofSteam. 1t has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIGHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with II rs 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 ms mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"Improved 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 use
of this motor, will inevitably 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 USE
| This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
| as propeng agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 Of bulk and weight
| 100 tons weight sufcing for the same power of
| I,JU
| These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
| 18th instant
| "We are pleased to state that j C. +. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonic acid gas, its application to 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 propelllng power"
| Also, rights for the of his "lmproved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll oft he vessel independent of the engineer that
he car" right-about-face" -ofwar in less time
