vTSEE first half Of the niuetssnth century will be
u recorded az the age Of Steam. il has passed,
and with il viii pas the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
AZ commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but to ENLIoHrEN the world.
This age has now commenced, and with 1t 10 now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John G. +. 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 asa mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having just received letters patent for his
"Improv.d Carbonic Acid Eng Inc, now offers TO
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the IT,
States government and to individuals or to cont
panies, the rights of Stated, counties, 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 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
CINE has precIuded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
propelling agent, from the single-horse power
for the cotton-gn 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 6remen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufhcing for the same power Of
300 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (45) horse power, now
'working well at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil OF the
18th instant:
"We are pleased to state that J G.. +. Solomon
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
Of carbonic 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
mg and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his ''lmproved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot such complete con-
troll the vessel independents of the engineer, that
he can" ght-about-fice' of-war in less time
than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lmproyed Spring Saddle, -
for military and common purposes, designed for
the greatest possible comfort of both horse and
rider
