UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 



The noricultural Club of the Uni- 

 versity gave a reception on Saturday 

 night to the members ot the faculty. 

 This affair was well represented and 

 was a great success. 



Professor White, of Cornell, visited 

 the University on Monday, November 

 8. After a brief visit, he left for 

 Ames, Iowa, where he expects to visit 

 the University. Although the visit 

 was only a short one, we certainly 

 were glad to have Professor White 

 with us. 



Over 3,500 people attended the 

 Fourth Annual Chrysanthemum Show, 

 which was held in the Floricultural 

 Greenhouses on Sunday afternoon, No- 

 vember 7th. A large number of peo- 

 ple who were not able to see the show 

 on Sunday, on account of the crowd, 

 came out the following day. Two 

 houses 30x110 feet were devoted al- 

 most entirely to chrysanthemums. 

 One of these was used to stage 2,000 

 seedling plants of anemones, pom- 

 pons and singles. Nearly all of these 

 plants are products of the Floricultural 

 Division. Besides the small-flowered 

 types, there were at least 800 plants 

 of the commercial varieties. The 

 masses of color, however, were not so 

 great or varied as in the case of the 

 other plants and, therefore, more of 

 the attention was centered in the 

 small-flowered type. This show has 

 become a popular event with the uni- 

 versity and town people.

A NEW "RED DEVIL" GLASS CUT- 

 TER. 



The "Red Devil" Tool people, Smith 

 & Hemenway Co., Inc., of New York, 

 have added a new glass cutter to 

 their large line of 40 styles of cut- 

 ters, known as No. 3. This new cutter 

 is of the magazine type, having three 

 extra steel cutting wheels in an air- 

 tight chamber in the removable handle 

 behind the head, in addition to a wheel 

 in the head. In all it has four wheels. 

 A new wheel can be instantly put into 

 place by removing a piece of wire in 

 the head. This cutter is fitted with 

 genuine hand-honed cutting wheels, 

 used for stripping plate, sheet or cathe- 

 dral and rough glass. It has a scien- 

 tifically shaped handle with a small 

 end and a large finger rest which will 

 not tire the hand. It is handsomely 

 finished, having a polished head and 

 a red enameled handle. This cutter 

 retails tor only twenty-five cents and 

 is a high grade tool, despite its price.

The Working Principle of the 



METROPOLITAN PATENTED EAVE 



In A — B — C — Language 



If jou light a 

 match and hold 

 It — the heat won't 

 bother you until 

 the fire touches 

 your fingers. 

 Now take a nail, 

 hold It at one 

 end and apply a 

 lit mutch at the 

 other — In a mo- 

 ment you will 

 have to drop it 

 because the heat 

 has been con- 

 ducted to your 

 flnsers. 



That's the working principle of the 

 Metropolitan Patented Eave, and that's 

 why It is self-ice-cleartng. 



More than 90% of the Metropolitan 

 Pntented Eave is In constant contact 

 with the inside heat, and being of one 

 continuous piece of cast iron, the heat 

 penetrates right through to the outside. 

 Th;it's why no snow or ice can accu- 

 mulate on a Metropolitan Greenhouse. 



Heat cannot penetrate eares that are 

 made up of two or more sections. 



The Metropolitan Eave is but one of 

 the many improvements we have made 

 In Greenhouse construction.
