From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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.
