The Great Invention Of the Age!-Steam Sup
planted! Gas Triumphant!

ryNHE first half Of the nineteenth century will be
Il 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 10 light but 10 EsLIcHTEs the world.
This age has now commenced, and with il is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John c. +. 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 as q mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having just received letters patent for his
"lmproved Carbonic Acid Engine, !" now offers TO
dispose Of rights for the use thereof to the U.
States government, and TO individuals or to COM
panies, the rights Of States, counties, or 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 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-
CINE has precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied To all purposes
as propelling agent, from the singe-horse power
for the cottongin 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 fremen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufiicing for the same power OF
I.JDU
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
'sworking well" at Cincinnati, as noticed IN the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil Of the
18th instant:
awe are pleased 10 state that J. c. +. Solomon,
late Of this city, has received patent for his motor
az cal bonic acid gas, in its application to an 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
ing and propelling power"
Also, rights for the use Of his Improved Pro-
pelling aud Steering Apparatus" one peculiar adj
vantage of which gives the pilot complete con-
troll ofthe vessel independent OF the engineer, that

than is required to load her guns.
Also, rights for his "lnproved Spring Saddle, y

the greatest possible comfort Of both horse and
