DIAMOND LACE AT $4,000 A
YARD.-But the latest and most
extravagant idea in ,diamond,set-
ting is diamond lace. Alongside
of this, cloth-of gold seems cheap
indeed. The mesh or web is made
of fine silver wire as delicate as
the threads of the finest Point de
Angleterre, and the pattern of
flowers, foliage, or other devices,
is worked upon the surface, and
formed wholly of artistically set
diamonds, just as the patterns APP
pear in point lace. This diamond
lace is used for trimming the cor
sage, sleeves and other parts of
elaborate toilets, but as the cost
of the cheapest that can be made
Is $4,000 a yard it Is not likely to
become common. Collarettes the

so made.-Buffalo EXPIRES.

"KN1aHTs OF LABOR. /"
what the Order t.

New YORK, Aug. 1S.-The Tri-
bune deVotes a long article to the
Knights of Labor. 1t says this
order numbers 100000 mem bers,
who are bound solemnly by oath.
1t is so subtly secret that mem
bers are prohibited from mention
ing it even outside the guarded
door of their assembly rooms. 1t
was not until early in February
that its name leaked out. Since
then, the Knights of Labor with
great cunning, have misled report
ers with false information in re-
gard to themselves and their pur-
poses. The order was born by
the cloth weavers of Philadelphia,
and gradually spread to all trades.
None but working men can join.
A great impetus was given the or
der by the railroad strikers OF
1877, and its growth was as rapid
as that OF the Changers. A diff
Guilty occurred last fall, when the
Ohio branch of the order refused
allegiance to the Philadelphia
head. A general convention was
held at Reading last February,
and the difficulty settled by adopt.
lug = new constitution and oath
Then the Knights went to work in
earnest. The Catholics have been
won over and thousands have
joined. The object, as stated, is
to protect labor against the ag-
gressions Of capital. Uriah f
Stevens, Grand Master Workman
holds absolute command over the
order. The greenback agitation
enables the order to WELD a tire
mendous influence. This Is done
by manipulating conventions. The
Knights are aggressive. All theil
efforts are directed toward captur
ing the National and GreenbacI
party movement. Their hand has
already been noticed in New York
State politics. The wonderful in
crease of membership which has
startled the Knights themselves
of late, and makes continued. Sc
crecy absolutely impossible, is at
tributable to settled purpose OF
the part of secret labor societ,
men to consolidate all the trades
unions under one head. They
reason that when this has beef
accomplished they can make ;
strike so universal that resistance
will be impossible. The striker
of last year aver that, with tn
present unity they could haY'
been successful. There seems t.
be a determination to force
strike when the railroads are il

Facts About the Sun.

The sun is 100000 times as large
as this earth.
The sun is 400 times as far of
as the moon.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds
here would weigh 2,7OO pounds if
on the surface of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun
would melt 287, 200, 900 cubic NJ lies
of ice every second.
The diameter of the earth bears
the same relation to it's distance
from the sun, as the breadth of a
hair to 225 feet.
A railroad train travelling with
out stops st the rate of 40 miles an
hour, would get to the sun in 263
years.
The sun is believed to become
some $50 feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be suf-
ficient to generate the enormous
quantity of heat which it radiates
Another theory is that comets
and other meteoric matter falling
into the sun may be its aliment to
Offset the tremendous loss which
combustion certainly involves.
1t would require the combus.

entire surface of the sun every

1t takes light eight miutes tc

from the farthest visible stars.
When the eleven year storms or

The earth is flying around the
