The Glass Flowers

Experiments have for some-time been in progress at the University Museum to discover a better sort of tablet than is now used upon which the glass models of flowers may rest with safety. The results have been satisfactory. The new tablets are made of a white material which will not warp under any conditions. The surface is absolutely smooth and may be made to take any color: white, however, will probably be used entirely. The chief value of this invention lies in the fact that where flowers were formerly subject to serious damage by the warping of the cardboard upon which they were placed, now glass models may rest securely and to better advantage.
