Barometer \Ba*rom"e*ter\, n. [Gr. [?] weight + -meter: cf. F. barom[8a]tre.] An instrument for determining the weight or pressure of the atmosphere, and hence for judging of the probable changes of weather, or for ascertaining the height of any ascent. Note: The barometer was invented by Torricelli at Florence about 1643. It is made in its simplest form by filling a graduated glass tube about 34 inches long with mercury and inverting it in a cup containing mercury. The column of mercury in the tube descends until balanced by the weight of the atmosphere, and its rise or fall under varying conditions is a measure of the change in the atmospheric pressure. At the sea level its ordinary height is about 30 inches (760 millimeters). See {Sympiesometer}. --Nichol. {Aneroid barometer}. See {Aneroid barometer}, under {Aneroid}. {Marine barometer}, a barometer with tube contracted at bottom to prevent rapid oscillations of the mercury, and suspended in gimbals from an arm or support on shipboard. {Mountain barometer}, a portable mercurial barometer with tripod support, and long scale, for measuring heights. {Siphon barometer}, a barometer having a tube bent like a hook with the longer leg closed at the top. The height of the mercury in the longer leg shows the pressure of the atmosphere. {Wheel barometer}, a barometer with recurved tube, and a float, from which a cord passes over a pulley and moves an index. | |

Territorial waters \Ter`ri*to"ri*al wa"ters\ (Internat. Law) The waters under the territorial jurisdiction of a state; specif., the belt (often called the {marine belt} or {territorial sea}) of sea subject to such jurisdiction, and subject only to the right of innocent passage by the vessels of other states. Perhaps it may be said without impropriety that a state has theoretically the right to extend its territorial waters from time to time at its will with the increased range of guns. Whether it would in practice be judicious to do so . . . is a widely different matter . . . . In any case the custom of regulating a line three miles from land as defining the boundary of marginal territorial waters is so far fixed that a state must be supposed to accept it in absence of express notice. --W. E. Hall. | |
