How a Siphon Acts.

The main principle OF the siphon Is
the same as that OF a suction pump
viz. that II a vacuum be created In a
tube inserted in water the normal pres
sure OF the atmosphere will cause the
water TO rise in the vacuum to a
height Of about thlrty-three feet The
siphon is a bent tube. one side or leg
OF which is longer than the other. and
the conditions OF its successful opera
ton are, first, that the shorter side or
eg be placed in the water; second. the
longer side or leg TO hang freely over
I've edge OF the vessel; third, a vacuum
rc be created throughout the length OF
the tube by sucking the air from the
iOnger side. This will be Immediately
'Ollowed by a flow Of water. which
viii continue as long as the mouth OF
he shorter side or leg OF the tube re-
mains under the surface OF the water.
In transferring water from a lower
level care should be taken not to re-
move the short side from the water. as
thar would destroy the vacuum and
