rnvIfE first half of the nineteenth century Will De
u recorded as The age of Steam. IL 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 10 light but to ESLieHrEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with 1t rs now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John @. r Solomon, after twenty-s
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 as a mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and Having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Eng Inc, now offers to
dispose of rights for the 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 will inevitably insure It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power now
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk and weight of the steam en-
gine has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propelling agent, rom the single-horse power
for the corton-gn 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 fremen and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficng for the power of
900 tors of the steare ne.

following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
awe are pleased TO state that J C. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonIc acid gas, in its application 10 engine.
The successful experiments Of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonparell. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his 'lmproved Pro-
pelling 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 cam rlght-about-fa face an-of-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
