i recorded as the age of;stcam. II has passed,
aud with It will 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 lght but to EsLicHrEh the world
This age has now commenced, and with II IL now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. +. Solomon, after twenty-six
wears Of close observation upon the experiments
Of his own and of others IN attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation of carbonc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ,and having just received letters patent Tor his
.lmproved Carbonc Acid Eng 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 It's speedy
adoption in all places where steam power Is now
used, and 10 thousands of other places where the
great expense bulk and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precuded its use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, from the sinsle-horse power
for the cOtIon-gn 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 sufficing for the same power of
900 tors Of the stear.s ne.
