as any word In the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in time past SO it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are intended to COW

The Independent Hydrant.

Yesterday afternoon the Fire Department
gave the Chapman valve Independent n.y.
drant, at the corner of Commercial and
Moulton streets trial. 1t is claimed by the
manufacturers that the hydrant will supply
eight streams of water, forced by steam
pressure from four engines. The hydrant is
made to accommodate four lines of hose, and
each outlet is controlled by special valve
that can be opened and shut at pleasure. The
water is admitted into the hydrant at the
base by means of large valve that is OPP
end and closed by turning nut on top of
the hydrant. Under the direction Of the
committee on fire department four engines
were called out and each supplied with a
line of hose from the hydrant. Each engine
threw two streams of water, making eight in
all, at a high stream pressure, and consdera-
BILE interest was manifested to see If the wat
er supply from the hydrant would be suffic-
lent. The water was thrown into the dock on
the westerly side of Long wharf, and after a
thorough trial it was found that the hydrant
was capable of doing all that is claimed of
it. The hydrant was given the severest test
which proved very satisfactory to the COM
mittee and to the large crowd that witnessed
