DEAR CLARIoN:- Recently, spent some
time in the U. B. cemetery at Thurmont,
and whilst going from place to place, and
looking over the ground where, among so
many others, sleeps the dust of numbers
of persons of precious memory Of fami-
lies among which have been much in
the days of yore. noticed here, there
and yonder, graves, yea, even lots, not a
few, which, by their condition, evidenced
the fact, sad fact-of being badly neg
lected by surviving friends, many ofwhich
are living in the town and vicinity. Sure
ly, we who survive should all see to it, do
our best to keep in proper condition the
place where we have tenderly laid away
to rest the earthly tabernacle Of our
loved ones to await the trumpet call.
Beautiful for situation" and much more
beautiful could and should the cemetery
be made to appear by US who have been
left for time upon this mundane shore
for wise purpose-yes, for,
80, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by"
1t is the earnest hope of the writer that
we may in the near future, be permitted
to see that there has been a revival CT
proper interest along this line, the disap-
pearance of at least, seeming Indifference,
and the identifying and improving more
and more, this sacred, silent city inhab-
tied by so many of precious memory.
With best wishes for all. l remain sin

Effect Of BaIIoonlnq on the Vision.

Some valuable experiments have
been carried out by DR.. Robert Daul-
noy, the wcll-known Partisan eye
specialist, concerning the effects Of
ballooning at varying attitudes upon
the visual system. The first invcsti-
CATION was carried out at an altitude
of 5000 feet. A bottle was flung over
board into lake beneath. The &C.
cupants of the car were able to follow
with ease the decent of the bottle
through the air, and also able to watch
the neck of the vessel as it disappear
ed into the water. The balloon then
scared to greater height, and by ex-
animation the doctor ascertained that
at this altitude there was a diminu-
ton of the pressure on the visual or
gans. The pupils distended, and the
sensibility Of the optic nerve was ap-
probably increased. As a result of
his observation DIR. Daulnoy is of
opinion that certain diseases of the
eye, if treated at high altitude in
rarefied atmosphere, would be more
beneficial and attended with greater
possibilities of success, than is now
the case, Especially would this be SO
in treating the maladies glaucoma and
choroiditis, or the releasing and loose
ming of the retina, which are two COM
mon eye complaints, Owing to the
increased sensitiveness of the optic
nerve in the purer rarefied air, the
action of the liniment or lotion which
is dropped into the affected eye I'M
der such conditions would be attend
ed, it is maintained, with astonishing
results.

Memorial.
REV. ERNEST McGILI

REV. ERNEST MCGlbL.
The vestry of Catoctin Parish order
spread upon the minutes of the vcstry the
following reference to the death of the
Rev. Ernest McGill.
When at a. m. on July 7, 1906, our
Heavenly Father called the Rev. Ernest
McGill from the ranks of the Church Mil
liant to the hosts of the Church Expec-
tant, there passed from the field of earth
ly activity one of the best men; and we,
the vestrymen of the church to which Mr..
McGill gave the last years of his life
work, plead the utter inability of words
to express the emotions which pervade
each breast, the thoughts which over
whelm each mind and the sorrow which
saddens each heart as we realize the loss
we sustain by the death of our rector and
friend, man so modest, so retiring, but
truly one where best known best loved.
Well may every interest of our commun-
ity mourn the death of this noble servant
of God. The Rev. Ernest McGill was,
indeed, one of the best and truest of men.
During the ten years of his ministrations
in our midst, his life was an open book
and it's every page bore testimony that he
walked with God. His ministrations as
priest and rector were earnest and I'M
ceasing, inspiring and uplifting, while his
private life was so genial and sincere, so
sweet and pure, so genuinely character
istic of the true Christian, that our be-
reavement is not only for that of faith
full priest, but also for that of beloved
companion and friend. To his family we
extend our deepest sympathy and most
sincere coincidence, with the assurance
that their grief and their sorrow are
shared by us and we pray our Heavenly
Father to be mindful of them in this their
time of sore distress.
