New Use for X-Ray.

In Switzerland recently the Roentgen rays have been jnade use of with great success for the examination* of re-enforced concrete work about which any question may have arisen. The advantage of being able to make an examination of the condition of # such-re-enforcements or the proper disposition affd situation thereof, without destroying the concrete structure are self-evident, as well as the desirability of being able to make an inspection of the position of the re-enforc-ing iron rods upon the completion of the cement-parts of a new’ building or a new structure.
