Barometer
notes: label: Description
content: This mercury barometer with an "Educational Depository, U.C." inscription was probably one of the many objects that the Education Department of Ontario sent to Philadelphia for the Centennial Exhibition of 1876. At the close of the Exhibition, those items were transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Education, and that organization transferred them to Smithsonian in 1910. The “Educational Depository, U.C.” was an organization in Toronto that supplied books, charts, and other educational material to schools in Upper Canada.
