WELLINGTON, Dec. 18. Electric welding has received great attention in Sydney and Melbourne, according to Mr. E. E. Hendricksen, oi Wellington, a civil and structural engineer, who has been on a four months' tour of Australia. It had gained the confidence of engineers and builders there, said Mr.' Hendricksen, but thore were important factors to be observed in its successful use, the neglect of which made for troublea. "Especially is this so where thero are no by-laws or regulations to Linder its use. Highly necessary is the careful testing and checking of the apparatus— metal and welds — and insistenca on the employment of qualified operators (welding societies have been formed in the major centres), and qualified inspectors, and attention to design. It is absolutely unsound in principle to regard a structure as a riveted job with- ; thfe rivets replaced by welding. Weldi ing has come to stay in Australia and New Zealand is bound to follow the lead given provided satisfactory bylaws and regulations are framed to permit. its full use and dovelopment,* ' he concluded.
