The Great Invention Of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted Gas Triumphanti

FHNHE first half OF the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as the age Of Steam. IL has passed
and with it win pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half Of the century willie known
as commencing the age of Gas-an agent destined
not only TO light but 10 ESLIGHTEH the world.
This age has now commenced, and with IL 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 10 make the
principle Of the condensation OF carbonc acid gas
available asa mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonic Acid Eng inc, F" now offers TO
dispose Of rights for the use thereof TO the u.
Staies 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 lis 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-
CINE has precluded its use.
This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
as a propeling agent, from the single-horse power
for the coton-gin 20 the two thousand horsepower
for ocean 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 suficing for the same power OF
300 tons of the steam engine.
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
awe are pleased to state that J. G. r. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
CT carbonic acid gas, in It's application 10 an engine
The successful experiments OF this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his "lmproved Pro-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage Of which gives the pilot such complete con.
troll ofthe vessel independent Of the engineer, that
he can"rgbt-about-face" man-of-wsr in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproved Spring Saddle, !"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
