The Great Inycniion Of the Ageg--Steam sup
planted Gas Triumphant!

4 recorded as the age of Steam. IL has passed
and 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 light but to EsLIGHTEN the world
This age has now commenced, and with II is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
! Professor John c. +. 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 carbonIc acid gas
available mechanic motor, has perfected the
same ;and having Just received letters patent for his
'sImproyed Carbonc Acid Engine, " now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof TO the u
States government, and 10 individuals 10 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 speed
adoption In all places where steam power rs 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 a propeng agent, rom the snge-horse power
for the cotton-gin 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 iremen, and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suflcing for the same power OF
j 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, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th Instant
'We pleased to state that ] G. +. Solomon
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonc acid gas, in It's application to 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-
polling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent of the engineer that
he can" rght-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

able inventions and of obtaining rights, &C., may
