rI>HE first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded rs the age Of Steam. II has passed
and with it viii 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 ENLIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. +. 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 mechanic MOTOR has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproyed Carbonic Acid Eng inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof To the u.
States government and 10 individuals or to COM
panies, the rights of States, counties, cities.
. The immense saving of money al d labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the u e
of this motor, will inevitably insure its speed v
adoption in all places where steam power IL now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great ex pense, bulk and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
AZ a prdpeing agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotlon-gin 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 firemen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suficing for the same power of
800 tons of the steam engine
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working well' at Cincinnati, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare Of the
18th instant
"We are pleased to state that ] C.. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic acid gus, in 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
ing and propelIing power"
Also, rights for the use of his sImproved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar add
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete
troll oft he vessel ,lndependentof the engineer that
he "righ,-about-f fac" man,ofw war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
