An apparatus for measuring the mean
level of the sea is announced. It is
based on the principle that when a
liquid wave traverses a capillary tube
or a porous partition it's amplitude dim
inishes, and it is retarded in its phases
without the mean level of the wave
changing. II consists OF glass tube,
the lower end communicating by fiex-
ible pipe with a plunger which is low
cred beneath the lowest water level.
There are two cells in the plunger, the
lower being filled with sand and open
to the sea, the result being that the
column of water in the tube rises and
falls very little with the tides, and the
mean sea level can be read from a
graduated scale. New York Sun.
