Nearly 70 year 9 ago a boy of 10, J. W. Bodger, began to make a museum as a hobby. He'started, in bis bedroom, and stored his collection in boxes. To-day that little collection has become the official museum of Peterborough, England, with Mr Bodger as its curator and secretary. It is housed in a magnificent building presented to the local Scientific and Archeological Society. In the museum may be seen toys and treasures dear to the hearts of the present generation’s grandparents. There is a fine example of a Noah’s Ark, unusually small, with nearly a hundred occupants, including some injects and a pair of butterflies!. There are many dolls, including Dutch wooden ones, and two wooden monkeys-up-a-stick. There is a collection of baby clothes of all dates, a child’s parasol 100 years old, *nd a baby’s cane rattle.
