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:

fessor A. N. Richards and Dr.
O. II. Plant, of the University of
Pennsylvania, bate discovered as

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

for years by physiologists, so
