The Great Invention OF the Agc!-steam
SupplnlIted!-Gas Triumphant!
TINE first hilf of the nineteenth century will be
i recorded as the age of steam. II 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 ENLiGHTEN the world This
age has now commenced, and with it is now intro
duced the Gas Engine.
Professor John Z. F. Solomon, after twenty six
his and Of others in attempts to make the prin
cpc Of the condensation Of carbonic acid gas avail
able as a mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having just received letters patent for his
Improved Carbonic Acid Engine" now offers 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 lives and suffering, secured by the Of
this new motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power ia now
| used, and in thousands of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight OF the steam en-
CINE has precluded it's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propeling agent, from the sing e-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 firemen, and Of bulk and weight
| 100 tons weight sufficing for the same power Of
| ! 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, noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati NonpareAof the 18th
instant:
"We are pleased TO state that j. C. F. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
of carbonic acid gas, in its application to
CINE. The successful experiments of this inven-
| ton were not long since given in the Nonpdreii.
The same gentleman has received another patcnt
for the steering and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use OF his "Improved Pro-
| polling and Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll of the vessel, independent of the engineer that
he fright about face" man Of war in less
| time than is required TO load her guns
| Also, rights for his "Improyed Spring Saddle"
| for military and common purposes, designed for
| the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
| rider.
