The panic seemed to be started by the demoralizatlon in Wall street. and the pressure was all on the May op- ton, while cash wheat was in excel lent demand. This has been the case for days past. Yesterday 300 000 bush els of wheat Were taken for export, and to-day by o'clock nearly 4Oo,O ,OOO bush els. Yet May wheat broke 10 64la, a decline of l5sc, at New York and 57lsc. at Chicago, a decline of 17sc. Corn sagged slowly, but there was not the big line of speculative holdings to af- feet prices.
 WILD TIMES ON WALL STREET,
 Had a dozen British warships of the Admiral, Majestic, Centurion and Royal Sovereign class 1cated into Ged- ney's Channel, anchored off the Romer Shoals, and shelled a fusillade of pro jectiles into Wall street there could not have been more scattering and eX- citement than followed the news of the stock break to-day. Aged holders of securities which have Withstood the fire of innumerable panics rushed about the street" with the activity that excitement lends, grabbed one an- other in the desire to dispose of their interests, and genrally showed them selves to be alarmed over the condition of affairs.
 Everybody seemed to have the one l idea-to sell as quickly, quietly and ad- VantageOusly as possible.
 The shouting of the brokers could be | heard in Broad and New streets, and, l as almost every one was anxious to sell at the same time, and buyers were in the minority, the sellers seemed to be climbing over each other in their desire to nail the buyers.
 Around the posts inscribed Burling- | ton and St. Paul the crowds outnum- | bered all the others, and as both stocks were rapidly marked down the shouting became a roar and the brokers surged to and fro. Messengers darted ! hfther and thither, and were not half fast enough to please the nervous mam- bers who were wrought up to strained 1 feelings.

LAMP AND CLOCK COMBINED.
1t Was Common Continuance In the
Seventeenth Century.

OF the various examples that have
been given of early specimens of the
clocltmalIer's art not the least interest
ing are the several types of lamp
clocks. one of these, says Casters
Magazine, was of kind quite common
in the seventeenth century, and con
sisted of lamp burner placed at the
base Of a glass oil receptacle mounted
vertically on suitable standard The
oil reservoir had attached TO il a scale
facing the burner and showing the
hours, beginning at four O'Clock in the
afternoon at which time the lamp was
to be lighted in winter, and ending at
seven o'clock in the morning. Tho
lamp being lighted, the gradually de-
scending level of the oil, as combus-
ton proceeded, marked the hours. The
other device, of later origin, dating
back TO the beginning of the present
century, utilized the same principle. 1t
consisted of two communicating oil
chambers, superposed by "a clock dial.
In one of the chambers was placed a
night lamp 10 illuminate this dial, and
in the other was suspended float from
"a cora Whlch passed around small
pulley. The latter was mounted on a
horizontal axis ending in the center of
the dial The float of course descended
as the oil was consumed and carried
the index hand along with it, thus
making the hours precisely as in the
case already cited At their best, these
timepieces could have had only an in
different degree of accuracy, yet they
probably served their purpose well, and
certainly are interesting at the present
time as illustrating some of the expedi-
ents adopted by mechanicians of an
earlier period.

A Cave OF wonders.

Workmen In quarrying stone at
Waddlcs, station on the Bellefonte
Central railroad. short distance from
State College, Pa, recently discovered
an interesting natural phenomenon in
the shape of cave. The external
opening 10 the subtcrranean cavern is
about four feet square, and opens into
a space nine feet high and twenty feet
deep. Large apertures leading down.
ward through solid rock are numerous
in the floor of the interior cavity. A
stone dropped into one of the openings
produces a clear, ringing sound such as
is emitted 10y a bell. Streams of flow
ing water can be distinctly heard at
distance below the surface. On all
sides of the interior of the cavern are
rare and grotesque calcareous forma-
tions of salagmites, and stalactites. At
one end of the large interior cavern an
opening extends into the earth dis
lance already explored of over one hun
dred feet. This aperture is compare
lively small, and can only be explored
by crawling on hands and knees. Sew
eral valuable and unique Indian relics
have been found, and IL is thought TO
have been the secreting place of some
early settlers from the attacks of the
hostile tribes. II is curious fact that
the newly discovered cave is but short
distance from the celebrated Penn's
cave, and its external appearance Is
similar.
