LAKE VIEW CEMETERY ASSOCIATION, 
By Clerk. 
The terms of our sale require half cash 
before burial is made and the balance is 
usually made payable within one year, un- 
less the purchaser desires longer time, and 
draws 6 per cent interest. 
We have very little trouble in collecting, 
and in only a very few cases since the or- 
ganization of the cemetery have we found 
it necessary to take back a part of the lot 
and cancel the contract. 
We sometimes give prospective pur- 
chasers options on lots, allowing them to 
make payments in installments.

UNIQUE NATURAL FEATURES IN A CEMETERY 
Two most interesting and probably 
unique natural features that have been 
skillfully utilized in the cemetery landscape 
are to be found in Cave Hill Cemetery, 
Louisville, Ky. The remarkable natural 
cave from which the cemetery takes its 
name is in the face of the bluff fronting 
the lake. Here the cavernous limestone 
which underlays the whole of the cemetery 
tract is exposed, and the effect of the car- 
bonic acid in the rain and drainage water 
on this limestone is shown by the dissolu- 
tion which has produced this cavern. 
This is only one of the many evidences 
throughout this region of the existence of 
caves and fissures. The rock in which they 
are found is a different one from that of 
which Mammoth Cave was made. Along 
the banks of Beargrass Creek and its trib- 
utary runs is seen the best development of 
that group of rocks of the date of the 
Niagara group of New York and of the 
upper Silurian rock. 
It is called the chain-coral and upper 
magnesian cliff limestone. At the top of 
the quarries about Cave Hill Cemetery are 
found the work of different species of 
corals, and as these zoophytes cannot work 
at a less depth than 120 feet, it is evident 
that the rocks of Cave Hill were once at 
least 120 feet beneath the surface of a 
tropical sea. The surfaces of these rocks 
as shown in the caves on the hillside faces 
expose myriads of fossil remains which 
the geologist finds a never-ending source 
of interest and study. The cave itself, 
from which the cemetery takes its name, 
faces the west and presents an opening 
about 8x10 feet, and offers an unfailing 
spring of sparkling water which in former 
days found its way through a deep valley 
to Beargrass Creek beyond. 
Around its mouth the original growth 
has been allowed to grow and spread, while 
above it, on the hillside, the honeysuckle 
presents a tangled mass of luxuriant 
growth over the exposed portions of the 
outcropping rock. 
Inside the cave itself it is seen that the 
water which began its errosive excavation 
worked upward as well as downward, as 
may be seen in the groove in the roof. 
When it had cut this vent it ceased work- 
ing upward and worked downward 
through the limestone to the present level. 
The spring now flows through a narrow 
channel in the floor. Its waters come 
from the eastern portion of the tract, as 
was proven in early days by dropping 
chaff in some of the large sink holes in
