by military discipline in situation remote from
the alIurcncnts, the vices and the dissipations
usually incident to college life, the student can
complish more than ordinary results. II affords

The Great Invention or the Age !-Stean
SuppInnted!-Gas Triumphant!

TIME fret III of the nineteenth century will be
i recorded as the age Of steam. 1t has passed,
and with il will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The sccond half of the century will be known as
commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined not
only to iigAt but to EaLIGHTEN the world. This
age has now commenced, and with it is now intro
duced the Gas Engine.
Professor John Z. r. Solomon, after twenty-six Z
years OF close obser walton upon the experiments OF
his and Of others in attempts to make the prin
ciple Of the condemnation OF carbouic acid gasavai
able as a mechanic motor, has perfected the same;
and, having iust 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 or 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 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 the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
ginc has precudcd IT'S ,,so.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propclling agent. from the single horse power
for the cotton gin to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, OF boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suficing for the same power OF
900 tons of the steam engine. ef
These facts are estab blished by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
working well" at Cincinnati. as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareilofthe 18th
instant: :.
eve 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 an en-
gine. The successful experiments Of this inven
ton were not long since given in the Nonpareu.
The same gentleman has received another patent
for the steering and pTopelling power"
Also, rights for the use OF his 'Improved Pro-
pelling and Steering Apparatus" one peculiar ad-
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll of the vessel, independent Of the engineer that
he can "right- about-face" a man-of-war in less
time than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "Improved Spring Saddle"
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
Any information in regard to the above invalu-
able inventions, and of obtaining rights, &c, may
be promptly obtained by addressing
