The Great Invention of the Age!

HE first half of the nineteenth century will be recorded
L the age Of Steam. 1t 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 com.
mencng the of Gasan agent destined not only light
but TO ENIGHTEN the world The age has commenced
| and with 1t is now introduced the Gas Engine
Professor John g. T. Solomon, after twentysx years of
others attempts to make the principle Of the condensa
ton of carbonic acid gas available mechanic motor
for his improved carbonc Acid Engine now offers to
dispose of rights for the thereof to the United States
government and to individuals to companies 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 motor
will inevitably insure its speedy adoption In all places
where steam now used and In thousands of other
places where the great expense bulk and weight of the
steam engine has precluded its use.
This may be applied to all purposes as pro-
polling agent from the singehorse power for the coongn
the two thousand horse power for steamers with
expense less than that required by the steam engine
boilers and furnaces fuel and fremen and of bulk and
| 1000 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the engine Of
cinnat, noticed in the following from the Cincinnati
"Nonpareil," of the 18th instant:
"We pleased to state that J. c. F. salomon late this
city, has received patent for his motor of carbonc acid
gas in its application to engine The successful expert
of this invention long since given in the
"Nonparel" The same gentleman has received another
patent for the steering and propelling power"
Aso rights for the of his Improved Propelng and
Steering Apparatus peculiar advantage of which gives
the pilot such complete control of the vessel independent
of the engineer, that he "rightaboutface" manof
less time imam required 10 lOad ner
Also rights for his "Improved Spring sadde for mill
ay and purposes designed for the greatest posi-
BILE comfort of both horse and rider.
Any Indignation in regard to the above nven-
TONS and OF obtaining rights &C., may be promptly OBJ

arrived at Cincinnati the Sh of October, 1851 and
the following day called to see Professor salomons New
lie papers was deirous to see the engine from the fact
that had for time previous been studying to make
the principle applicable motive power to machinery,
astonishcd and delighted in witnessing the construc
lion and operation of the engine saw embodied idea
| before perfect than had conceived
witnessed the operation for hour. 1t uni
form and perfect and of sufficient to lift woiyh Of
1900 lbs. twenty-five times in minute This power
applied to turn the machinery of the shop and appeared to
be equal TO steamennes commonly used in machine shops
The whole length ols engine about twelve fifteen feet
and suppose its weight might be about ve six tons. The
furnace small shecron pan, the size of my hat and
not complicated than that of the steam engine the
principle Of construction and operation being the This
estimated to be twenty-five horsepower engine, Of
which have given you brief description.
