AMELIA EDITH (HUDDLES TON), b. Barometer. Instrument for measuring the pre ure of the atmosphere. In its simplest form it consists of a gla tube ab. 80 centimeters long, closed at one end, filled with mercury and inverted in a cistern of mercury. If the liquid in the tube stands at a height of h centimeters above the surface in the cistern, the pre ure of the atmos- phere is f g h dynes per sq. centimeter, in which f is the density of the mercury, and g is the force of gravity. The normal height is ab. 76 cent i-glish birth, resident in meters or 30 inches, and the pre ure is common- ly given in centimeters or inches. Liquids light- er than mercury are sometimes used, but in this case the tube must be much longer. In accurate work several corrections are nece ary to apply to the observed reading to obtain the true read- ing. See ANEROID. IMG:content-0435.jpg:[graphic] Barometric Depre ion. See BAROMET-
