fyvE 6rst half of the nineteenth century will be
i recorded as tbeage ofssleani. II has passed /,
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will DO known
as commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only TO Gghf but to gNLIcHrEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with II Is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G. r. 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 cnrbonc acid gas
available az 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 new 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 expense, bulk. and weight of the steam en-
gine has precluded It's use
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the slngle-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 hremen, and OF bulk and weight
100 tons weight suffcing for the same power of
900 fc~a of the stears ne.
TIL ,s.s cts are es sr- j by the experimental
engiH wenty-f,s-l = horse power, now
sworxss iweIl'' at Cas..anati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnats Nonpareil Of the
18th Instant
ave are pleased to state that ]. C. F. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
carbonc acid gas, in It's 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 propeng power"
Also, rights for the use of his "Improved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus one peculiar adj
vantage (which gives the pilot such eomplete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he can"rg ht-about-face a man-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
