Paleontology," by S. A. Miller, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1889 — this work being 

 issued some months before the Illinois State Report was gotten through the 

 press. Mr. Arnold made generous donations from his collection to the 

 State Normal School at Chico ; to the Smithsonian Institution at Washing- 

 ton, D. C. ; to the Pasadena High School ; and to the Throop Polytechnic 

 Institute. In addition to his wonderful collection of shells and crinoids, 

 mostly the gatherings of his own hands, Mr. Arnold has made canes from 

 about' one hundred different kinds of rare woods, shrubs and plants that 

 grow in this semi-tropic clime, but not in the more northerly portions of our 

 country, and hence have a fascinating interest to our Eastern visitors, as well 

 as a scientific value in themselves. 



ARCH.5ioi.OGY Collection. — Maj. H. N. Rust had what was deemed 

 the finest collection in this branch of science on the Pacific coast at the time 

 President Hopkins referred to it, as above quoted. In 1892 it was sold to 

 Frank G. I/Ogan of Chicago, and was exhibited in the great World's Fair 

 there in 1893. Mr. Logan afterward donated it to the Congregationalist 

 college at Beloit, Wisconsin, and it there abides. 



Mrs. IvOwe's Collection. — Since the date when President Hopkins 

 alluded to the four collections then here, another one has been brought to 

 Pasadena which quite overtops them all in the comprehensive magnitude 

 and marvelry of its completeness both as to number and quality of the 

 specimens, nine-tenths of them being the choicest of their kind. It com- 

 prises thirty-one distinct and different collections, made by Mrs. L,eontine 

 Augustine Lowe herself (wife of Prof. T. S. C. Lowe) during the past forty 

 years — and she is still adding to it. The collection of curios alone has cost 

 $150,000, and comprises some of the rarest old paintings, old laces, tap- 

 estries and costumes — relics of rank and royalty ; carvings, sculptures. 



RESIDENCE OF PROF. T. S. C. LOWE. 



There are basement rooms under the entire building, and all occupied by Mrs. 

 Lowe's unique collection.
