rooting and architectural ornaments. 
STREETS* 
Kagan's Improved Macadam pavement for streets 
Is destined to take the place of all other roruis of 
pavement, for the reasons, viz: 
It is cheaper, more durable, more easily and per¬ 
fectly repaired. I* Impervious to water, and no at¬ 
mospheric change will affect it. 
It is free from mud and duet, and is noiseless. 
It is smooth without being slippery, and has suf- 
tielent, elasticity to make it the easiest pavement 
known for animals to travel over. 
DURABILITY. 
The reason u Macadam road does riot last longer is 
because tho stones are loose and rub and grind upon 
each other - dust and mud Is the result. Eagan’s 
Composition holds the rocks tirmly together, thus 
completely remedying Hob evil, und conhniiig the 
wear of the road to its surface. 
KIDF. WALKS. 
Kagan's Composition is peculiarly adapted for side¬ 
walks and lawn walks, private roadways, gutters, 
etc. it can be made Into blocks and laid ill squares 
or diamond form, or tnudu one continuous sheet, cov¬ 
ering arched wurk more perfectly than the largest 
flagstone, ami at,Ol>e-foiir|)i the expense. 
Walks made id it have a smooth, hard and even 
surface, pleasant to walk upon, always clean and free 
ol ice, and ol as great durability us If lmiduof the best 
flagstone. Sidewalks made under Kagan s patent cost 
but little II any more than tf made of plunk, und are 
as durable us rock, 
ROOM NG, 
Made of this composlliou, lo fur superior to the com¬ 
mon felt roofs that are made of gravel, felt, coal-tar 
and pitch. The latter is liable to run in warm cli¬ 
mates and to crack in cold. IQ’ the peculiar chem¬ 
ical combinations In lids composition both of these 
objections are obviated, and a roof produced equal to 
slate, at a cost of about One-tlllrd as milch per square. 
CELLAR BOTTOMS AND SIDES,' 
Lined with this composition, from one to two inches 
thick, keep perfectly dry and Warm In winter and cool 
in summer, and are nil and vermin proof. 
FLOORS. 
Floors made of it may he painted any color; and 
are as pleasant to tread upon as if made of wood. 
CISTERNS AND VATS. 
Kaguu'sComposition is Impervious to water and in¬ 
soluble in acids, making it Just the thing for lining 
vats in breweries and maaul'actorles of most kinds. 
It fs equally well adapted for cisterns, much better 
than the bnsl hydraulic cements, and not subject to 
decay from any cause. 
FIFING. 
Fining made of Eagan's Composition has been in use 
lor live years in 8aU Francisco, Cal , where it was tlrst 
Invented. It has given entire satisfaction, almost 
entirely superseding all other kinds of piping for 
sewers or drains, it Is easily and cheaply made, ami 
has the advantage of beiugmudo at any place with¬ 
out a great outlay of money for machinery, tools, 
buildings or materials. 
Pipes cun be made ol any required size, are cheaper, 
and will sustain a greater exli-nml or internal press¬ 
ure than any other kind of cement pipe. 
(’EM ENT. 
As a content it is acknowledged, by scientific men 
who have examined It, to he the strongest known. 
A wall built u! brick or stone, and this cement used 
us a mortar, would be perfectly solid as if made of a 
solid rock. 
SEA YVALLS. 
Sea walls can be built with this material in combi¬ 
nation with broken rock, more rapidly and cheaper 
than tn any other way. 
DIPLOMAS.

position from the following Fall's :

St. Lotus, Mo., 28th March, 1871. j 
This specimen ol PacificConcretr, (Kagan's Patent,) 
was taken from the Union Street Kali road of Si. Louis, 
Mo., whore It has been in use since December, 1869. 
Since that dale the teams of the railroad have passed 
over that portion Of itie imi-lt where the concrete is 
used, 300 times each dap. while that same portion ot 
the track Is constantly used by other teams und vehi¬ 
cles of the city. This pavement has received no re¬ 
pairs whatever, and shows but little wear after con¬ 
stant use fur Sixteen month* tnow 22 months) In 
summer it is free from dust, and In winter brings 
with it no inconvenience from snow mid ice. The 
Macadamizing at either end of this block of concrete 
is renewed three time* each year, is soil and wet 
when much, water Is used, and mull probability will 
require such renewing fur several year* to coine be¬ 
fore the concrete needs repairing. The block of Pa- 
rifle Concrete in tho track of the Union Railroad bus 
given entire satisfaction. Wm. Stork, Sup’t. 
This Company will take contracts in any city of the 
United States to make Macadamized Pavements, and 
will guarantee them to last twenty years, and keep 
them in repair for a small percentage. Will also
