What is said to be the largest and most varied celluloid menagerie in the world is contained in a room above a store on Brattle Square. It is the possession of Horace Taylor '07, teacher, inventor, and tennis player of note.

Forced to swap half a dozen celluloid monkeys for that rare toy, an orangutan, and later obliged to supervise personally the manufacture of a duckbill, Mr. Taylor now claims that the present menagerie reposing in the corner of his workroom contains more different animals than any other of its kind. Tiny barns contain the various types of cattle and sheep and the great number of other animals stand in typical positions on the floor.

The remarkable menagerie is not the only feature of the room. On the lampshades are written laws of physics. A large pincushion has sticking out of it numerous pins of different length. The length of the pins represents the distance of the planets from the earth, and the size of the pinheads is as nearly as possible relative to the sizes of the planets, though it was impossible to carry this plan to completion.
