Used in 1 ay ing streets, road ways, sidewalks, In liniDg

rooting and architectural ornaments. 
STREETS. 
Eagan's improved Macadam pavement for streets 
la destined to take the place Of all other forms 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 chaoge will affect It. 
It Is free from mud and (Just, and 1* noiseless. 
It is smooth without being slippery, and has suf¬ 
ficient elasticity to make it the easiest pavement 
known for animals to travel over. 
DURABILITY. 
The reason a Macadam road doe* not last longer is 
because the stones are loose and rub and grind upon 
each other—dust anil mud is the result. Eagan s 
Composition holds tho rocks firmly together, thus 
completely remedying this evil, and confining t o 
wear of inn road to its surface.

Kagan’* Composition Is peculiarly adapted for Bide¬ 
walks and lawn walks, private roadways, gutters, 
etc. It can be made Into blocks ami laid in sf vares 
or diamond form, or rondo one continuous sheet. ■ v - 
eriug arched work more perfectly than the largest 
flagstone, and at une-fourth the expense. 
Walks made of it have a smooth, uard and even 
gurface, pleasant to walk upon, always clean and free 
of ice, and of as great durability as if made of the best 
flagstone. Sidewalks made under Kalian's patent cost 
but little If any more thau it made of plank, and are 
as durable as reek. 
ROOFING, 
Made of tills composition, is far superior to the com¬ 
mon felt roofs that are made of gravel, felt, coal-tar 
and pitch. The latter is liable to run Lti warm cli¬ 
mates and to crack in oold. By the peculiar chem¬ 
ical combinations in tilts composition both of these 
objection* are obviated,and u roof produced equal to 
slate, at a cost of about one-third ns much 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 rut and vermin proof. 
FLOORS. 
Floors made of it may be painted any color; and 
are as plonsunt to tread upon us if made of wood. 
CISTERNS AND VATS. 
Kagan's Composition I* Impervious to water and In¬ 
soluble in acids, making it just the tiling for lining 
vats in breweries and manufactories of most kind*. 
It is equally well adapted for cisterns, much better 
than the best hydraulic cement*, and not subject to 
decay from any cause. 
FIFING. 
Piping made Of Eagan ’# Composition has been In use 
for five year* in San Francisco, t Vi., where it was first 
invented, it lias given entire witi*fuctlon, ulrnost 
entirely superseding all other kinds of piping for 
sewers or drains. It is easily and cheaply made, and 
has the advantage of being made at any place with¬ 
out a groat outlay of money for machinery, tools, 
buildings or materials. 
Pipes can be rnude of any required sise, are cheaper, 
and will sustain a greater external or internal press¬ 
ure than any other kind of cemunt pipe. 
CEMENT. 
As a cement it Is acknowledged, by scientific men 
who have examined it. to be the strongest known. 
A wall built, of brick or stone, and this cement used 
M a mortar, iv r abl uo perfectly solid aa if made of a 
solid rock. 
SKA WALLS. 
Sea walls can be built with this material in combi¬ 
nation with broken rock, more rapidly and cheaper 
than in any other way
