THERE can be little doubt that the building material of all others that will enter into the reconstruction of our country is cement. This being undoubtedly true, it is of exceptioml interest to record that, availing themselves of the opportunity afforded by the Building Exhibition at Olympia, The lnstitution of Structural Engineers convened a Coagress of delegates from all parts of the world to read papers on and to discuss in all its aspects, the manufacture, chemical properties, possible refinement and improvements and constructive possibilities of cement. A conference duly met on April 22 and the delegates were received at the Building Exhibition, Olympia, by MAJOR JAMES PETRIE, President of the Institution of Structural Engineers, and were conducted round the exhibition. They were afterwards entertained at lunch by the Council of the Institution of Structural Engineers and the directors of the Building Exhibition. MAJOR PETRIE, who took the chair, in proposing the health of the delegates, said they included some very distinguished men from all parts of the world. He welcomed them warmly, and felt sure that they would find, in the many papers which had been contributed, material which was both interesting and instructive as illustrating the difficulties which confronted structural engineers in their ordinary everyday work.

THE intention to apply to the ruins of Tintern Abbey only such repairs as would not affect the beauty or the antiquarian interest of the building very seriously complicated the difficulty of its preservation by the Historic Buildings Branch of H.M. Ofice of Works. William Harvey

The Viscosity of the Raw Material Slurry Used in the Manufacture of Portland Cement

ALTHOUGH this Conference is to deal chiefly with the properties and uses of cements we think that engineers and users of cement generally will be interested to receive some account of methods investigated by British Portland Cement Manufacturers, with the object of reducing the cost of manufacture, and so-of the utmost importance to the user-of reducing the cost of the finished cement.

<h4>The Strength of Steel Angle Struts</h4>

The Strength of Steel Angle Struts

ALTHOUGH the angle is the section most commonly used as a strut, we have had some doubt in the past as to the actual strength of steel angle struts when connected in the manner commonly employed in roof-truss, trestle and other framework. In Bulletin No. 218, issued by the United States Bureau of Standards, results are given of an investigation into the subject made by Messrs. A. H. Stang and L. R. Strickenberg.
