ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Changes That Come When the earom-
stsr Falls an Inch.

Changes That Come When the earom-
eter Falls an Inch.
Few persons have any idea what
tremendous changes in the atmosphere
are indicated by such rise or fall Of
an inch in the barometer.
A cubic inch Of mercury weighs a
half pound. When the mercury falls
an inch weight Of one ton Is re-
moved from every 1000 square inches
Of surface. This Is ton for every
area five and one-quarter feet square.
If your house, for instance, Is 25 by
40 feet, with an area of 1000 square
feet. load of about thirty-six tons Is
lifted from the roof every time the
barometer shows an inch fall-that is,
a thirty-six ton load would be lifted
IL the house were air tight. But as air
presses In every direction there II as
much of a push upward against the
roof from below as there is Of push
downward from above. So the roof
actually feels no effect from the re-
moval of this heavy load.
In the same way man Of average
size would be relieved or weight OF
about ton and half If there were
no air chambers in the human body.
1t has been figured that fall Of an
inch In the barometer over territory
400 miles square removes weight
from the surface Of the earth Of &c.,
OOO, 100000 tons. II this were loaded
on freight cars. twenty tons to the
car and thirty cars to the train. more
than 26OOOO.OOO trains would be re-
quired to move it. If each train were
500 feet long they would stretch out
in line more than 25.O00.0O0 miles
long.
The only noise that accompanies this
great transportation feat is made by
the wind. which does considerable roar

mospheric changes.-Kansas City Star.
