The widow of Sir Richard Burton lives in a small cottage at Mortlake, very close to the Roman Catholic Cemetery containing the little mort uary chapel in which Sir Richard IS buried. When the door is opened this little chapel is flooded with sun shine, the only sign of death being Sir Richards coffin; and "Here " Lady Burton is credited With say ing, II sit for hours at time with book, and the little children who are playing about come in and say their short prayers and run off again. It is, I know, just the resting place my husband would have liked" " she tells us. sHe had no wish to be buried in Westminster, where tho tourist would have had his memorial stone pointed hurriedly out by an attendant, who gabbles out the names of half dozen heroes in the time 1t would take any one else to mention one.

 vas certainly genius, the laureates down to Southey's time were, as a rule, men of inferior ability, and many of them mere poetasters. Southey did much to raise the laureateship in public estlnnation' and the appointment of Wordsworth as his successor was just recogni- tion of commanding merit. Tenny son, more than any of his predeces- sors, has conferred dignity upon the office, aud now that he is dead It will be difficult to decide who shall succeed him. Boston Traveller

Several manufacturers in Europe are now using aluminium in the con- struction of bicycles, says Iron. The aluminium is alloyed with a small percentage of titanium, which Is said to increase the strength of the aluminium very considerably. The following are given as results of tests of the alloy and metal used for this purpose: The tensile strength of aluminium, 22,3O0 pounds per square inch; titanium alloy, $500 pounds. The tensile strength of the alloy is very great if these figures are correct. It is greater than that of wrought iron and steel GAS, ,000 to 67, ,000 pounds) but is not so great as steel wire, which has tensile strength of nearly 100000 pounds per square inch.

"Well 1en,' said the old man, solemnly, "1'm bleedze ter tell you dat sense don't stan fer goodness. De creeturs dunno nothin' tall bout dat dat's good en dat dat ain't good.

 John P. Req was borr October 14, 1840, in Lower Oxford town ship, Chester county, PennsyI- vania, and he passed his time there until September, 1860, when he went to Piqua, O., where he taught school. He enlisted in an Ohio regiment when the war broke out and served three years and four months, attaining the rank of major. After returning from the war he en- tered the Wesleyan College at Della ware, O., and graduated in June, 1867. During the vacation of 1866 he entered law office at Lancaster, Pa, as student and was admitted to the bar there in August, 1868. On April 12, 1869, he was ap- pointed assessor of internal revenue by President Grant for the Ninth district of Pennsylvania, which office he held until 1t was abolished by law in 1873. Req removed to Minne- apolis in 1875. where he was made editor-in chief of prominent paper. He continued as editor until May, 1877, when he resumed the practice of law. In November, 1877, he was elected judge of probate, and served for four years.

FROM EARTH TO SUN.
The Exact Distance as Measured by Ge
 man Astronomers.

The Exact Distance as Measured by Ger
 man Astronomers.
 Many of the readers of The Com panion may have seen the transit of Venus in 1882, when the earth S beautiful sister planet, moving in its orbit exactly betw zen the earth and sun, appeared upon the bright disk of the latter in tho shape of a round blaca spot world in silhouette Although almost ten years have elapsed, astronomers have hardly yet completed the computations and discussions required to give us the best possible knowledge of the suns distance that can be derived from the observations made at that time.
 Professor Anwers has recently published the results of the obser- vations made by the German astron- omers during both the transit of 1882 and the previous transit of Venus in 1874. After carefully comparing the measurements made on two occasions and correcting as nearly as possible all the known errors, he finds for what is known as the suns parallax, 8 S80 seconds. This simply means that half the diameter of the earth as seen from the sun would subtend an angle of eight seconds and 880-1000 of a second.
 The distance of the sun, as in dicated by the parallax given above, would be 92,059, 750 miles; but owing to probable errors in the observations, which cannot be cor rected, the parallax is uncertain 10 the extent of about one four hundredth part either way, so that the true distance may be as great as 92, 289, 700 miles; or as small as 91, ,S29, 700 miles.
 The German computation makes the suns distance somewhat less than has usually been assumed in the recent text books of astronomy. Other measures based on the tran- sits of 1874 and 1882 have varied from 91, ,850,600 up to 92, ,42S, ,000 miles, the number generally pre- ferred being about 92, 900, 900 miles, although the distance correspond ng to the parallax adopted for use in the nautical almanacs is about 92, 400, ,0O0.
 At first sight it may appear sur prising that there should be such wide differences in the various measure S, but really the differences are not as serious as they appear to be. The sun is body about 966,- 900 miles in diameter, so that the probable error, one way or the other, in any of the measures given above does not amount to more than about one-quarter of the suns own diameter. while the varia- ton of the distance in the course of every year, owing 10 the slliptical form of the earth's orbit, is more than dozen times as great as the error in question and twice as great as the difference between the ex- treme measures Youths Compan- ion.

The Venus of Milo.

The attempts to reconstruct the Venus of Milo have been many and daring and quaint, remarks the art writer in The Globe. The latest is from the brain of Mir. J Belt, of Douro-place, Kensington, who holds that sue stood in the amphitheatre of Melos, "the accepted site for the holding of high public festivals and for the bestowal of high honors for public service, and the arts. " Starting from this theory, he invests her in his attempt at restoration with the character of a great god dess comforting honors. Her right arm and hand are advanced in the act of bestowing wreath of glory, the left hand holds others in reserve. Mir. Bell calls his attempt at restora- ton Venus Donatrix. --Galignant.
