The Great Invention Of the Age !.s's""

Supplanted Gas Trium mphant!
FI>iE first ali of the nineteenth century will be
recorded as the age of steam. Ii has passed i,
and with 1t will pass the steam engine with the
| things that were.
The second half Of the century will be known as
commencing the age OF Cas-an agent destined not
| only To light but to KSLIoHrEN the world. This
age has now commenced. and with it is now intro.
duced the Gas Engine.
Professor John L. r. Solomon, after twenty -si L
years oil close observation upon the experiments OF
his own and Of others in attempts make the prn-
ciple Of the condemnation of carbonc acid gas avail
able ne mechanic Irvtor, has perfected the same,
| and, having just received letters patent for his
| "Improved Carbonic Acid Engine" now ofiers To
dispose Of rights for the thereof to the United
\ States Government, and TO individuals to com
panies. the rights Of states counties, or cities.
| The immense saving of money and labor, and of
human liyes 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 ths
great expense. bulk, and weight of the steam en-
| gine has precluded it's usc.
This new motor may be applied 10 all purposes
asa propeling agent. from the single horse power
for the cotton gin To the two thousand horse power
for ocean steamers. with the expense Ie-s than that
required by the steain engine of boilers aud fur.
naces, fuel and hremco. and of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sutiicing for the same power of
900 tons OF the steam engine.
These facts are established 10y the experimental
engine OF twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working vell' at Cincinnati. as noticed ia the
