roofing and iiiehltcotural ornaments. 
STREETS. 
Ragan’s Improved Macadam pavement lor streets 
is destined to take the place of all other torius of 
pavement, for the reasons, viz : 
It Is oh on per, mere durable, more easily mid per¬ 
fectly repaired. Is Impervious to water, mid no at¬ 
mospheric change will ailed It. 
It In free from mud mid dust, and Is noiseless. 
it is smooth without being slippery, and bus suf¬ 
ficient elasticity to nmko it the easies' pavement 
known for animals to travel over. 
DURABILITY. 
The reason ft Mncudnm road does not last longer Is 
because the stones urn loose and rub arid grind upon 
each oth'er —dust und mud Is the result. Ragan’s 
Composition holds the rocks (Irmly together, thus 
completely remedying this evil, turd confining t ,e 
wear of the road to Its surface. 
SIDEWALK*. 
Fagan's Composition Is peculiarly adapted for side¬ 
walks and lawn walks, private roadways, gutters, 
etc. It can he made Into blocks and laid |p's< '. ares 
or diamond torm, or made one continuous sheet ,j * - 
bring arched work inure perfectly than tile largest 
flagstone, umi at one- fourth the expense. 
Walks made of it have a smooth, hard and even 
surface, pleasant to walk ypoj.,always clean and free 
ol Ice. and of as great durability us If made of the best 
flagstone. Sidewalks made under Eagan's patent cost 
but litt le If any more than If uiiidu of plank, and are 
as durable as rook. 
ROOFING, 
Made of this com position, la far superior to the com¬ 
mon felt roofs Unit are made of gravel, felt, coal-tar 
and pitch. The latter Is liable to run In warm cli¬ 
mates and to emek in cold, By the peculiar chem¬ 
ical combinations In this composition boili of these 
objections urn obviated,ami a roof produced equal to 
slate, ut u cost ol' atmut one-third as much per square, 
CELLAR BOTTOM* AND HIDES, 
Lined with lids composition, from one to two inches 
thick, keep perfectly dry and warm In winter and cool 
In Hummer, ami are rot and VuRulLi proof. 
FLOOR*. 
Floors made of It may be painted any color; and 
are as pleasant to tread upon its If made of wood. 
CISTERN* AND VATS. 
' Ragan’s Composition Is Impervious to water and In¬ 
soluble In acids, limiting it just the thing for lining 
vats In breweries und nmnbfitctorles of most kinds. 
It Is equally well adapted for cisterns, much better 
than the best hydraulic cements, und not subject to 
decay from any cause. 
FIFING. 
Fining made of Ragan’s Composition has been in use 
tor five years In San Francisco, Cal,, where it was first 
invented. It has given entile satisfaction, almost 
entirely superseding all other kinds cl piping lor 
sewers or ilrulna. It Is easily und cheaply made, and 
has the advantage of being made at any place with¬ 
out u groat outlay of money tor machinery, tools, 
buildings or muturlaU. 
Films call bn made of any required size, are cheaper, 
und will sustuln it greater external or Interna) press¬ 
ure than any other kind ol ciucnt fr.pc, 
CEMENT.

who have examined It, to be tlio strongest known.

Tills specimen of Pacific Concrete, (ICagan’a Patent,) 
was taken from the Union Street Kail road of si. Louis 
Mo., where it has boon In use since December, 1869. 
Since that date the teams of the niilrumt have passed 
over that portion of the truck where the concrete is 
used. 300 times eiic/i fkiy. while that same portion of 
the track Is constantly used by other teams and vehi¬ 
cles of the city. 'X'hls tmvcmeiit haareceived no re¬ 
pairs whatever, anil shows hut little wear ilircr con¬ 
stant use for sixteen months (now 2a months). In 
summer It Is tree from dust, and In winter brings 
with It no Inconvenience from snow and ice. The 
Macadamizing ut either end or this block of concrete 
is renewed three Limes each ypar. la soil uml wet 
when milch water la used, and In all probability will
