A siphon bottle.          {Inverted siphon}, a tube bent like a siphon, but having the             branches turned upward; specifically (Hydraulic             Engineering), a pipe for conducting water beneath a             depressed place, as from one hill to another across an             intervening valley, following the depression of the             ground.          {Siphon barometer}. See under {Barometer}.          {Siphon bottle}, a bottle for holding a[89]rated water, which             is driven out through a bent tube in the neck by the gas             within the bottle when a valve in the tube is opened; --             called also {gazogene}, and {siphoid}.
