Monday evening the Pomona college
bows will make some lively music at the
tabernacle. The Glee club has gained
an enviable reputation for good singing,
and should call out good house.
The Delphi Chstauqua circle met at
the home OF Miss Mamie Banghsm. on
South Los Robles avenue, this evening.
This circle is one of the most interesting
in the city and has covered much
ground during the past season.
Inez Mecusker, the young soprano
who will assist Mr.. Souss in making his
concerts on this tour the most enjoyable
of the season, is an exceptionally charm
ing artist, combining with consummate
grace and ease upon the stage a pure
method and a beautiful soprano voice,
cultivated to the highest degree. As
ballad singer she is almost without
rival and is certain to delight sll who
listen to her captivating work.

FIRE EFFHcrs ON coNcRRrR.

It Is Unrsliabis As FIreprOOf
Material.
Concrete 10 often used as q hreproof
building material, and as such, says The
Architect and Builder, is commonly con-
sidered sale material for walls or foun-
dations which may be built for tEat pur-
pose. A few experiments will demon
strate it's unreli ability in this respect.
Take q piece OF dry and hardened con-
crete work, such as is used in walls or
foundations and break 1t into three parts
or Jumps; leave one in its original state
ami place the other two pieces in the
fire, where they should remain at light
red heat for to 10 minutes, according
to size; then remove both pieces, place
one to cool naturally and the other in
water to cool. When cold and rem owed,
it will be found that the one naturally
cooled will crumble easily and the one
cooled in water will crack and fall apart
with very slight pressure.
Some two years ago we had an expert
ence with concrete walls, where the in
tGrior OF q two-story building had been
DESTROYED by fire. We recommended
that the walls be taken down and rebuilt,
bat it Was decided 10 repair them. Where
bu0 Ako WAS lkAb bub httAO 0SneBO was
done, but near the base of the walls,
where the burning brands had fallen and
the fire generated the greatest heat, was
a strip all round that had crumbled
away, leaving the walls at this point
only about half their original thickness.
The most pronounced OF the disintegrated
concrete work was cut out and brick
work built in. Soon afterwRrd the ex-
terror portion of the walls showed signs
OF giving way, whereupon sections were
cut out and built in with brick. As time
passed the walls in the other portions
also began to show the disintegrating
effect OF the fire on concrete work.
We wish more particularly to direct
the attention OF the officers of the vsri-
Gus fire departments to the danger which
may attend concrete work, especially
where the basement or foundation por.
ton of the walls has been built of such
material, and which In turn supports
brick walls three or more stories in
height.
In many cases the concrete work is
placed where the fire and steam to-
gether will tend to weaken the support,
and in a moment, without warning, the
walls may come tumbling down over the
iremen. repeating the horrors frequently
depicted by the press.

President CLEVELAND has named
November 90 as Thanksgiving Day
There is sufficient reason for thanks
giving this year In the rapid recovery Of
the nation from the recent period Of
financial panic and business distress.
The best evidence Of this improve
ment is found in Comptroller ECKELs'
report, Just issued, on the condition Of
the national banks on October 9, which
shows that they were not only in vastly
better shape than they were at that
tlms year ago, but that they had near
yregainsd the position held by them
pr teTwuADric. Thus theAndividual
Bos7ss 90 OctobeFS, 1854, were 81, 72s,-
4ls,s1s, against 81, 765, 499, 9s3 on Sep
TENDER 80, 1892 before the panic; while
the loans and discounts on October 2,
1894, we're 1891, S74,273, against
S2,153, 49s, s29 on September 80, 1892, =
comparatively slight difference.
I'VE have in these figures an authori-
ftatlve exhibit, the best attainable from
any possible source, OF the real business
status OF the country; and it not only
shows q recuperation which is little
short Of amazing, but one which is solid
