We hare been aware for some time past
that Prof. Solomon was engaged Ia our city
constructing his patent s.Sulp}s. OIL Cur
loaic Acad Eaq5ne," and that his prospects
of success we're highly encouraging lie
was aided in this enterprise by some Of oar
most opulent and Intelligent citizens, who
seeing the Ultimate probability Of his in
vention, did not hesitate to furnish means
enabling him to reach the desired, and We
are heppy to fortunate consum-
nation Mere chan ten years has the Pro-
fessor lsbored upon this fayorite theme of
his mechanical and scientific genius, occa-
sionally encountering difficulties, but by
close application aud unberding enterprise,
he finally found his efforts crowned with
abundant SUCCESS That which to him APP
peared certain in theory, consonsnt with
mechanical laws and philosophic principles,
has, at last been outwrought and practical
" Demonstrated far, at least, as cur
judgment goes, after seeing and judging
for ourselves admitting not even Of doubt
us to its complete triumph.
We called yesterday afternoon, much to
our qualification, and saw the engine in full
successful operation. where it had been
working, without Interruption, several days,
in Cypress alley; between Pratt and Lom-
lard streets. This engine, being marely.a
model, or experimental enc, has Of course,
eitne itnrerfections, and may be greatly
improved, but it worked with remarkable
precision and regularity. It is calculated
tor fopr-borse power being oam mon rec
tilineal or reeiproeaine steam engine diff
fering in no material feature from those IN
general use. TIE novelty of The patent,
consists IN the motive power and its appli-
cation, which wholly supercedes steam.
This moter Is produced by a compound Of
de. sulphiated bi su!pliuret Of carbon, coal,
ter, and volatile or fixed oil, which, under
certain influence Of heat becomes powerful
" expansive and thus gives momentum.
Though Only four horse engine. it was
performing the estimated duty of ten horses,
and has haeu 50 doing since pat into opera
ton. nearly fortnight ago.
The great writes and triumph Of this
wonderful invention, which, in all prob
ability, will cause revolution in mechanics,
are is economy, safety aud power, eonnbin
ing also, essapaess and convenience.
