Maxey O LD G R A N A R Y B U R Y IN G GROUND IVitbin the confine« of the older (eastern) states of this Union there are many ancient, quaint, and hallowed burying grounds, most of which close ly surround or adjoin a much-loved chapel or meeting house Among the most Interesting of these Is that precious plot of ground known as Old Granary Burying Ground, near the present business center in the city of Boston. The town granary once stood on this site— hence thle peculiar Dame. The burying ground was established about the year 1040. Within this well-kept enclosure which is surrounded by an imposing protec tive fence, lie the remains of three signers of the Declaration of Indepen dence, nine governors. Peter Faneull, that public-spirited individual who presented the city the famous hall which bears bis name; Paul Revere, that patriot who. on April 18. 177», warned his country of the marching of the British troops towards Lexing ton and Concord, and other notables of their time. Probably the most conspicuous head stone that graces the shaded covering of the departed Is that erected by Ben Jamin Franklin, the most important literary man orf his day. in loving trib ute to the memory of his father, Jo- slah. and his mother, Ablah. An outstanding feature of the plot are a number of almo«t-a-century-old elm trees which cast their shadows over this restiDg place. The epitaphs on many of the stones which mark these ancient graves are quaint. Indeed, and peculiar in the light of present-day custom. An un usual one reads: K ID N E Y S REMOVE W A STE PRODUCTS FROM BLOOD. — The kidney acta like an ordi nary filter In removing waste products from the blood. Pro fessor A. N. Richards and Dr. O. II. Plant, of the University of Pennsylvania, bate discovered as a result of experiments which show that In the kidney there Is a miniature microscopic filtra tion plant of extreme complexity. The blood flows through the finely divided network of blood vessels In the kidneys to many thousands of microscopic filters. Since‘ the blood passes over the beads of these filters under con siderable pressure, some water and waste products pass through them, ultimately being excreted, while the bulk of the blood passes back to the main blood stream. Increase in the pressure of the blood on these filters increased the amount of waste products eliminated. Just as in crease of pressure on a water filter augments the flow of wuter through it. In order to carry out such an Investigation, It was necessary to develop microscopic Instru ments and n very fine technique. Although the filtration theory of kidney secretion has been held for years by physiologists, so difficult wns the technique to prove it that not nntll the pres ent time lias it been satisfacto rily verified.— Science Service.
