... if it were composed of layers equally dense throughout . But since , from the
diminished pressure and its great elasticity , air becomes less dense as we
ascend , the real height is very much greater , being , it is supposed , about 210
miles .

The error is the less the more the surface of the cistern exceeds that of the
column in the tube , because the fall or rise in the tube is spread over a larger
surface . Hence it is desirable that the cisterns of barometers be made as large as
...

The error of capacity is obviated by making the inches of the scale not true inches
, but just so much less as exactly counterbalances the error of capacity . The
diameter Fig . 4 . of the glass tube is generally contracted in its middle OF THE ...

The zero of the vernier being between 29 and 30 , the reading is more than 29
inches , but less than 30 inches , we obtain the first figure — 29 inches . ( 2 . )
Counting the tenths of an inch from 29 upward , we find that the vernier indicates
