'1 The woaicl is worseet,mpered than t was fifty years ago Three -quitters of the bad temper in the worldd is causedthy round e•houdd, ers. `. The' hast thing a person who is an- ltoye(l does is to hunch his shoulders. If he squared his shoulders instead Ire would end itmuch-more ditlicult to be angry, These are among the maxims of Mr. .L. E. Merman, .tin ex-R.A,F: officer, who has just, written a book en self -heal- ing. Despehed of by his doctors in 1919 as a -result of an accident, he claimed tohave completely cured himself by means of his own "Euclid of health," and has become a well-lydtown amateur athlete; On the whole, the moat badtemper- ed people in the world are those given to tense thinking, Mr. Eemen said, but they are not necessarily the best workers. If you took a census :,of habi•`ually ill-tempered people you would find that they are nearly allln'ouad-shouldered and'hollow-chested. Sudden.irrftation makes- them round their shoulders still more. Mental Control. People are too apt to waste their vitality and energy through fretting over small and unimportant trifles, with the result that the last two hours of, the day at the office are generally wasted. This applies Co a vast pro- portion of sedentary mental workr•s. ""Mr, Daman has some startling views regarding athletics: As much exer- case can be taken in an armchair as on the playing field, he contends. 'Complete physical training must embrace mental control of the muscles as wwP:, he says. The whole body can be exercised by sitting :quietly In a chair with eyes closed and aleeiving the mind to dwell upon some sport or exercise, The stere thinking of that exercise, and of the muscles which that exer- cise brings into play, will send the blood .to the muscles and exercise them as elileiently as if they were be- lng actually used. Fortechnical perfection, of. course, a certain amount of physical practice is necessary,. but the armchair lath- lete soon fits hi.mnself possessed of greater control and staying powers than the athlete who .relies on physical training. How to Sleep. Rest and sleep should Ile prepared for if they are to be efficient, declares the author. Preparation consists in lying down fiat, stretdlaing every meiecl.e, after the manner . of a cat, and clasping the hands, .fingers I4•nked; over the pit of the stomach. y , "At the same tine, adds the author, every part of the body should be -thought of in turn.

EXPLORERS LOST FOR SIX YEARS When explorers leave` their native shores• for little-known parts of the world, there is no knowing if they will ever return, `.. • Sams disappear utterly; but there are•oases inhere they have been given uffer dead, yet have returned or been found after an absence of many years. Take the case of •the heroic his sionaxy explorer, David Livlugstone, for 'instance. He vanished in• the un- known interior' of Africa, and when .rnoro than six' years had elapsed with- out news of iicim, he was mourned as dead. Yet after ell that time Stanley found him alive and well at Ujiji, on Lake Tanganyika, which is'almost in ,the centre. of the country. A litt1•e while later Stanley himself disappeared, together with three other white men and 853 native porters. The expedition: set . out from the east coast' of Afriba in November, 1874, and when nearly three years had elapsed without tidings, the worst was feared' But on August 4, 1877, Stanley' turn -.I ed up unexpectedly at Boma, on the west -coast, having marched by devi- ous ways right. across the continent a journey of over 7,000 miles—through territory the .major portion of which had never before been visited by white men. The terrible journey had cost the *yea of his three European compani- ons, -and of his 353 porters. only 115 had survived. Captured by Savages. A few years ago a native, bearing a letter, arrived at a` settlement near the -mouth of the Fly River in New Guinea, the huge island north of Aus- tralia, To everybody's amazement the let- ter was found- to have been written by a Danish explores. named Peterson who, four years previously, had start- ed with three companions to -explore the unknown interior of the island, and bad long been given up for dead, They had, it appeared, been sap - turgid by a tribe at savages who had killed their Carriers•; and made them prisoners. . An expedition succeeded in raneom- ing them with -presents of. glass heaths, looking glasses, and similar er'ticlee dear to' the hearts of savages; and they were ultimately restored' to civili- zation and their friends., The fur -trappers of Hudson Bay stili tell the story of "Lucky Moore," as he came to be called. He was a hunter and prospeotorewho was twice reports et lost in.the frozen- "wastes of Noisily ern Canada. Yet he turned tip alive and well after disappearing for seven months, • and then again for eleven months. When, however, he disappeared a third time, and. in a blizzard., while guiding an expedition along: the shores of the Polar Sea, everybody thought It was all over with him. An Seklmo Chief. Nea;r1•y six years elapsed. Then an inspector of what was at that time the North-Weet Mounted Police, in the course of a journey of 1,800 miles across the frozen land which stretches. along the coast from Hudson Bay to Alaska,. came upon a tribe of Eskimo who acknowledged, a white pian as their chief. The white man was none other than Lucky Moore. He had, he explained, been found by (tn. Eskimo. hunter when on the point of death from cold' and starvation, and had remained with the tribe ever since, not daring to run . the risk of reaching the settlements,, on account of one of his feet having been ampu- tated owing to frost -bite. The stirring story .of Arctic explora- tion abounds with similar incidents. The Canadian explorer,.Stefansson, and two companions,. were gtven up for dead when their ship was crushed•, by the ice and sunk.

There is said to be a leek of et- Relent, well-trained tuners mn England, and thousands of pianos remain silent and untuned for want of proper atten- tion. The profession is said to offer ex- ceptional opportunities for the edu- cated girl. The coarse of instruction in England lasts for about two years, and the pay is said to be about ten pounds a week, with opportunity to travel to all pasts of the country. The tuning classes at. the Music Trade School are full and a *waiting list is reported, A large percentage of the entrants are women.

A member et the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, Beaton, Masa Ten Good Rules for Broad-' cast Listeners. The following ,ten rules for radio broadcast listeners have been evolved by Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith, welt -known radio; engineer, • The rules themselves are as follows: 1. Don't try .to hear ordinary broad- casting from Australia in mid -summer: Be satisfied to enjoy the goad pro- grams from nearer stations moat of the time, 2. Don't be disappaintedd ifan owes atonal disobliging storm interferes with your Summer radio evening. There are manyfine concerts coming. You can't expect to find a pearl in every oyster, nor to receive a record- breaking concert every night, 3. If you want louder signals, use a larger aerial, more tubes, higher, plate voltage,.more sensitive loud speakers and more careful tickler and receiver adjustment. • 4. A.pleasant signal filling a mod- erate size room should be enough to give satisfaction. Musically, such a signal is ideal. 'It is not worth while producing signals which deafen the neighbors. It is wasteful to insist on. tremendous signals which ace general- ly less pleasant than- moderate sig- nals, particularly during the Summer. 5. If your local station comes in too loud and drowns others out, a smaller aerial will help in tuning him out, with a small condenser connected between aerial and ground. Or a simple wave trap may do the trick. And if all mea- sures. to get rid of the local station fail, why not enjoy his eoncerte? He is working hard for you and it is no- body's fault that you are so close to hint that you are bound to herr hint, Broadcast stations have to be closer to some people than to others, 6. In inyoeng' gram try forselecttheg higherur poweverined broaspro- d- castiug stations. They were designed to give better Summertime service, 'and you will generally find that they do. 7. A little patience in learning to handle your receiver yields rich rer turns in.'otlsfaetion from fine signals. Remember, that "Rome' wasn't built in a day," and keep on getting more and more tallier with your set and how it works. 8. It hi a good idea to read the radio column of a newspaper er a good radio magazine er two. It helps you to know haw your set works and keeps yen up- to-date in radio. luformatioit of this sort is an aid in getting the concerts Mud and clear. 9. Ask your music dealer for advice; he can probably tell you what you want to know, -and will be glad to do so. The manufacturer of your set is also willing to heap you get the desired results from its use, 10. Do not throw away the direction sheets or booklet that came with your set and with the tubes. Read ail such niaterial carefully now and then, and i fallow the suggestions which are given. The direction sheets• answer most of the questions which have been puzzling you and preventing you from getting the"best out of your set.
