In this work are still Tlsiblo'' In
many of the old. ruins that have

Tor hundreds' of years after the
decline' of 'the Roman . Empire,
however, the science- of cement
making was t lost to the world and
it was not until Ions after Europe
had emerged from ihe dark, ages
thit the: methodsrof - making ' er
ment were rediscovered. y.; c.
It was in 1736 that John Smea
ton, an English engineer, was giv
en a contract to construct the Ed
dytsone Lighthouse In the English
Channel off the ccast of Cornwall.
The work undertaken by Smeaton
was particularly difficult.' - Twice
before lighthouses had been erect
ed on the Eddystone Rocks,, but
these were of wood construction
and were destroyed by the Chan
nel gales. Smeaton, therefore,
planned for masonry construction,
which-made It necessary for him
to find a mortar that would hard
en under water. He spent consid
erable time in research before he
finally obtained the desired pro
duct, ; Th knowledge which Smea
ton acquired in his research is
fore, the Roman Empire had even
been visioned. Many arches of this
aquaduct -ere ' BtHI binding, ai-
though it war built, some 29 cen
turies- before Smeaton discovered
hs hydraulic cement,; which .was
virtually the same: as ( the- cement
used by the Romans and. the Car
thagenians. " J '..;,- ..T ; -v'
?-It remained for Joseph- Aspdin,
an 'English brick-layer, to develop
a cement-which' would-meet mod
ern building jieeds.r Aspdin found
that ,by mixing limestone or-its
equivalent, chalk, with clay, or
?hale, burning, the mixture and
thn grinding it to a very fine
powder, he obtained a cement far.
superior to' any ' which had been
made up to that time. - t .
Ha called - this -invention port-
land cemer because of the re3em
blance of the hardened mortar to
Portland stone which had been a
famous building stone In England
for Ncenturies.' Aspdin was -grant?
ed a patent on Portland cement in
1824. This .year the centennial
of the -Invention of Portland-ce
