Snow lightens foregrounds considerably and dark shadows are much better illum- mated than in summer by reflection from the snow, the ordinary folding type of camera mounted on a tripod being best suited to the work. Either films or double-coated or backed plates may be used, the r.onhalation quality being ad- visable to control so far as possible any lights that may be included within the picture-area True an. advantage lies in being able to study the full-slze mage On the ground glass but careful use of a brilliant finder should prove satisfac- tory and direct vision finder, readily attached to any camera at small expense, is splendid <.

 All agree that l.. sylvaticus is very domestic and exceedingly fond of chil- dl en-, four to six being born in litter and sometimes as many as three litters being produced in a year. The young grow rapidly and are sent out to fend for themselves soon after birth.

The company booked for the return engagement is the same one that played to phenomenal business ill Jan uary; the same symphony orchestra of 80 and the same realistic stage effects will be heard and the prices, perform ance hours, etc, will be unchanged
 BROKE ALL RECORDS
 Tn falling victim to the spell of 'The Birth of a Nation." Birmingham has taken it's place with Richmond, Atlanta. Nashville Memphis and other important cities of the south. In these, as well as in smaller cities, the Griffith spectacle has broken all records and the producers have been besieged with requests for re- turn engagements. In some southern cities it has been necessary to summon extra police to restrain the crowds at the final performances. and in this con noction it might be stated that the at taches of the Jefferson had their hands dull during New Years week, especial ly when tickets for the extra Sunday per aormances were placed on sale.
 Many circumstances have conspired to make 'The Birth of Nation the most widely discussed play in the world. Sug-
  els, it embraces far wider scope than "The Clansman" play. Mr. Griffiths new art covers 150 years of history and pie torializes the greatest events of the war between the states as well as those of Reconstruction.
