This is "Ponjola." ley's stirring, exciting South African gold field playing at the Allen theatre. Anna Q. Nilsson enacts the great- est role of her career in this First story of ll National picture. (a part fights As a man, the heroine played by Anna Q. Nilsson) | for the redemption of a man, {1s fast becoming)the victim of the | strange drink of that glamorous country. The plot moves. quickly, passing from one thrilling incident to another. It is a picture that will be a treat for those who enjoy plaus- ible drama and romance. | "Ponjola" is interpreted by a | brilliant all star cast, which includ- | es Anna Q. Nilsson, James Kirk- | wood, Tully Marshall, Ruth Clifford, Edwin Sturgis, Claire McDowell, Claire Du Brey and Bernard Ran- dall. I / "TO THE LAST MAN" COMING TO STRAND The advent of the Tre siean loco- | motive lad its echo redently with Tonto Bas- in Arigona, of the first "horseless { wagon." Bearded old settlers | brought their families for miles to | see the strange machine which was, in fact, just an ordinary six-cylind- er automobile. A circus-like excitement reigned the ad- | ing "To the Last Man," which open- ed at the Strand theatre to-day, bumped over the rough dirt road in a shiny motor car. Most of the children had never seen an automo- bile before. A wagon wheel had never turned within five miles of the spot where the picture was fllmed and the mo- torists were forced to rijde horse- back to complete their journey. "To the Last Man" is adapted from Zane Grey's novel. It is the story of a bloody feud and the action is as thrilling as it is dramatic. The heart interest is most « compelling. Lois Wilson, Richard Dix, Frank Cam- peau, Robert Edeson and Noah Beery are featured. The author per- sonally supervised the production. An Interlocking Theme. Politics and weltare were two of the points on which Miss Jttia Lath- rop chose to speak to the Toronto League of Woman Voters recently, and Mrs. John Bruce, the President, took occasion to say, In her bret speech of introduction, "the terms are synonymous." Miss Lathrop pointed out that since the conferring of the franchise, women ean no longer lié back in the sheltered ease of home and say, when things in the political world go wrong, 'Ah! you'd see, if we were doing it, how diff- erent things would be." The speak- er, whoseyaried work, by the way, was highly prized by the late Pres- ident Roosevelt, in touching on the future of women in public life, re- minded her hearers that.,before there is any reaching out to Federal, or as we say in Canada, Dominion honors, women should make an effort to get representation on smaller, more timate bodies--=achool boards, where she considers the proportion should 'be fifty-fifty; county councils, prison boards, library boards, industrial commissions, and Provincial Legis- latures, a sound piece of advice ren- dered a few weeks ago, by Mrs. W. F. Nickle, wife of the new. Attorney General of Ontario. The woman fer this sort of public work Miss Lath- rop clearly thinks. should be the Cynthia Stock- | life, now | who | 1 | NATURE'S TEEMING MILLIONS. | ~-- | Four Generations of Oyster Shells | Would Outweigh World. | The wonderful profusion with | | which she distributes living tnings is | { one of -nature's most astonishing | We are accustomed to regard the earth as fairly densely populated : With human beings; Great Britain | | contains nearly 50,000,000, China | | about 400,000,000, and the whole | women, and children.

All those we see are females, | and they give birth every few days! | to teeming broods of youngsters, ! which are full-grown in a matter of | hours ' Huxley calculated that if the pro-| geny of a single greenfly all survived ! and bred, they would in one summer { outweigh every man, woman, and] | child in China. It is lucky that the greenfly"s enemies--chiefly young | ladybirds--have appetites 'sufficient | to keep the pest in check. ~ ' Bupposing a great anti-housefly campaign were so successful that only one specimen was left alive in the whole world, should we be rid of these carriers of disease? Hardly, for the housefly can increase with amazing speed. If all survived, the descendants of a single fly would | number 30,000,000,000 before the | end of the summer. If all these could be killed in a new campaign, 3,000 dust carts would be needed to remove | the slain! . | A starfish may lay 300,000,000 eggs; and but for their enemies, which preserve the balance, these creatures would fill the world's seas in one year. Nature is just as prodigal with other living things that have many foes. One female fish may lay 9,000,- 000 eggs--this number was actually found in the roe of a turbot weighing 17 pounds. A pair of rats will have 100 young nes in a year, and as the young can {/breed at the'age of four months, the family, including children and grand- children, would number, it uncheck- ed; 2,012 in a year. It seems that | nature first invented 'ways of letting animals multiply rapidly, and then, becoming frightened of her hamdi- work, devised means for keeping them in check. | But these figures are as nothing | when we turn to the lower walks of life. Professor Lorande observed .one family of tiny microscopic crea- | tures for five years. These minute things multiply by the simple process of splitting up into two complete Hv- ing parts, and they do it once every sixteen hours, | During the five years the family | produced 3,029 generations. Had all { survived their combined mass would have béen 10,000 times as big as that of the earth. An oyster can lay 60,000,000 egss. Four generations, but for the work | of enemies, would prodpuce a pile of | shells sufficient to outweigh our | globe. Even in the case of such a slow breeding animal as the elephant, a Pair of which will have a single young one about once in ten years, the figures are amazing. In 750 years, Darwin calculated, the de- scendants of one pair of elephants might number 19,000,000. Resting Weather. Storms are more often in our minds than in the air. This winter season is rather nature's quiet holi- day, a vacation that will bear its fruit in more active seasons to come. Frost to tear at the rbcks, ice to rub gravel down, melting snow and flood- | ing rain to spread the life-containing loam over and through the earth's clay--any student can tell of these. The immortal life of our world pur- sues its way in the calm of winter, though more withdrawn from sight, Just as in the leaping joy of spring. And, as always, beautiful beyond knowledge or deserving. It is our eyes that are dull in winter, not the sky or land. Lavender of snow shad- ows, purple of maple buds, laced de- | signs of tree tops living gray against the' clouds, oak trunks coal black above melting ice, pointed firs like jade carvings over sunlit , the holy pearl and silver of late misted sunrise and the flaring red of sunsets wind-blown along the western hills, the winter days move over our world in beauty as the stars across the sky. ~Collier's Weekly, A Hand Truck.
