ToRRIcELLI'S VACUUM.
Experiment That Led to the Inventie

Experiment That Led to the Invention
Of the Barometer.
The barometer was invented by Tor
ricelli, pupil of GalileL In 1643. In
attempting to pump water from very
deep well near Florence he found that
in spite of all his efforts the LIQUID
would not rise higher in the pump
stock than thirty-two feet This set
the young scientist to thinking, and as
he could not account for the phenome-
non In any other way he was not slow
in attributing 1t to atmospheric pres
sure He argued that water would
rise In vacuum only to such a height
as would render the downward pres
sure or weight of the column Of water
just equal to the atmospheric pressure
and, further, that should heavier fluid
be used the height of the column could
be much reduced. To prove this he
selected a glass tube four feet long
and after sealing one end filed it with
mercury and then inverted it in a
basin containing quantity Of the same
peculiar liquid. The column in the
tube quickly fell to height of nearly
thirty inches above the mercury in tho
basin, leaving in the, top of the tube a
vacuum which Is the most perfect that
has ever been obtained and which is
to this day called the Torricelli vac
uum in honor of its discoverer The
name of the instrument means lair
measure" and its fundamental princi-
Piles cannot be better illustrated than
by the above described experiment.
