'THIS highly useful Machine is found by
experience to excel any hitherto in
use. 1t VIII wash as many cloaths (by the
assistance Of one person. in an hour as can
be washed in a whole day, without the pos
sibility Of injuring, fretting or tearing the
most delicate article, and with less than half
the quantity of soap. 1t occupies very little
more space than the common wash-tub, and
with the least care will not create any slop or

Its color is of dark and brilliant slate,

Should house be on FIRE, and brand
from it lodged on the roof of an adjacent
building covered with this stucco, the brand
will not communicate 6re-to the roof.
There are variety of valuable trees which
are only used for ornament, as for example
" the Lombardy Poplar which cannot
when worked up, withstand the changes of

may be used for many other purposes.
The preparation of this composition may

FROM VARIOUS JOURNALS anu magazines al
the United States, for the encouragement
of the useful arts and sciences,
THE PUBLIC ARE PRESENTED WITH THE
DESCRIPTION OF
Mr.. lNORNEYEC'S IMPEAE7RABLE
STUCLO.
His Excellency JAMES MADISON, Pre-
ssident of the United States of America, has
granted letters patent to the 1euthonian L.
6raria Imbrimere, Mr.. lN0rneveck, for his
discovery and devolepement in the art OF
quiescent affinity as to matters of compost
ton. 1t is we'll known that the ancient
Jews, Greek and Roman nations, as well
as modern ones in general, have made very
deep and laborious researches, for much
to be desired and wanted impenetrable
Stucco; but it seems that all antique as well
as modern laborers in the Spagiric science,
were bafled in their pursuits, and it has
fallen to the lot of our new patentee to find
out this secret work of art. This impene-
trable Stucco, it appears, has this great ad-
vantage over states, tiles and shingles 1t is
infinitely lighter and harder than either, and
not in the least fragile, being elastic, and
will not crack by blow from hammer,
nor the strongest frost, and also resists a
brand of FIRE; consequently its advantages
over the usual covering by shingles, must
be evidently superior. The inventor is a
gentleman rather too modest to say much
about his discovery; but a single certificate
of his usefulinvention, under the signature
of four of the honorable the justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States, came
to our sight, and which We here subioin.
I'VE, the undersigned, have been wit
nesses to the effect of Stucco, or Cement,
intended to be covering to the roofs of
houses, in order to avert the dreadful ca
la.nity of FIRE. The inventor has informed
us that it is easily prepared, is cheap and
durable; and as we have viewed an expert
ment made on it, as we'll by acquaforts, as
by q coal Of. fire, neither of which seemed
to have the complete power of destruction /;
we are therefore OF opinion, that the same
cement issa very useful invention 1t aP-
pears to be nearly incombustible, and well
calculated for the purpose INTENDED, Parti-
cularly when it is applied on the roofs OF
buildings which are singled. Tlae invent
,or, Mr.. Morneveck, has stated to Us, that
it is equally secure against the heaviest
rains; he therefore deserves, in our OPT
Mon, the patronage. of she'ptsblsc for SO use
