susHE FIRST half Of the nineteenth century viii b
i recorded az the age Of Steam. 1t has passed
and with il will pass the steam engine with ths
The second half of the century will DO known
AZ commencing the age of Gas-an agent destined
not only TO light but to EsL'cnrEH the world
This age has now commenced, and withit ~ now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c.. r. 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 carbOnic acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having letters patent for his
'lmprove Sarbonlc Acid Engine, now offers 70
dispose or rights for the thereof to the u
States government, and to individuals or to com
paDes, 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 tins new motor will inevitably insure It's speed y
adoption in all places where steam power Is no W
used, and in thousands of other places where the
great e pense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has preciuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied TO all purposes
as a propelling agent from the single-horse power
for the coton-gIn to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than tina,
required by the steam engine, OF boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and Of bulk and weight
IUO IONS weight 3uHlcin6 IOT lIe same power oil
800 tons Of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working well" at Cincinnati, az noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
j "We arespleased to state that j c. f. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his
Of carbonic acid gas, in its 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
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his "lmproved Pro-
peng aud Steering Apparatus, y one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll of he vessel independent of the engineer that
he "rlght-about-face man-of- war 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
rider
