The sccond half Of the century will be known
a. commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only to ngM but to EHLiozrEH the world.
This age has nov commenced, and with It - 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 condemnation OF carbonic acid gas
available az mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"Improved Carbonc 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 xpense, bulk, and weight Of the steam en-
gins has precluded Its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as a propeing agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 suficing for the same power Of
