JUNE 28, 1913. the order during his period on earth, but I am quite sure they would have a grab for him were he here now. Mr. Plowden said, ironically, a few days ago : " This is not a country where people can afford to be jovial. You must cultivate a spirit of melancholy if you want to be safe. Go away, and be as sad as you can." I cannot tell you how to be miserable : at least I could, but I am not going to. There are quite enough of that sort in the world now. But I can tell you how to be happy. Work hard, and lead a healthy life. Get all the out-door exercise you can ; if the necessities of livelihood keep you shut up all the week, get it on Sundays. Churches and chapels teach the highest form of morality, while indoor city life tends to reduce the health of the body on which vigour of character and strength of mind depend. Mix with good people, and go to good places for everything you require. Try to see the beauty in all nice things : music, flowers, pictures, the country side, the sunset.

It is necessary for the well-governing and safe keeping of a people that religion in some form or other should be taught, but unless the body is in a strong, healthy condition all the preaching in the world will fail to keep a man straight. The degenerates are more often those of poor bodily health than those mentally weak. If I go motoring or visit one of the great aerodromes on a Sunday, I may yet be doing the best I can to lead a straight life; and I can praise with all humility and with true appreciation the great Architect lof the Universe, when I gaze on the view from the top of Reigate Hill or some other point of vantage. ® ® ® ® in charge, cruised from Potsdam to Leipzig, doing the no miles in about 24 hours. The new garage is 194 metres long, and will accommodate two Zeppelins. It has a full equipment of meteoro logical and wireless telegraphy instruments. THE LONGEST DAY.—The annual pilgrimage to the sun temple at Stonehenge to witness the rising of the sun when it casts the shadow of the Heel Stone directly on to the altar stone—a moment of great significance to the sun-worshippers. Above is seen a Bristol biplane flying over the ruins upon the occasion. 70 x
