_Fig. 2._ Is a Diagonal Barometer, where the Alteration of the Perpendicular Altitude of 3 Inches, by the Obliquity of that Part B C of the Tube A B C, (as a Diagonal is oblique to the Sides of its Parallelogram,) is increas'd to 20 or 30 Inches Sideways, for more Nicety of Observation. _Fig. 3._ Is a Wheel Barometer, where by two Weights G and H on a Pulley, by which a Hand is turned, the one of which plays freely in the Air, and the other rises and falls with the Quicksilver in the Tube, the Divisions are larger and more obvious than in the ordinary Barometer: as they are in the Diagonal one; for the like greater Nicety of Observation. _Fig. 4._ Is a common Thermometer, to determine the Quantity of the Heat of the Air, or of any Liquor, by the Rarefraction of Spirit of Wine contain'd in the hollow Ball at the Bottom, and its consequent ascending to the several Divisions on the small Tube. _Fig. 5_, and _12_. Are to shew that the Air's Density is as its Compression, the former upon a greater Compression, and the latter upon a greater Rarefraction; and that accordingly, in the first Case, B D the Standard Altitude, or about 29½ Inches, and L M the Additional Altitude of Quicksilver pour'd in higher than the Level H, taken together, is to B D the Standard Altitude alone, as I G the inverted Part of the Tube when full of common Air, to H G the Part full of condens'd Air: And in the Second Case, B D the Standard Altitude, is to D C the Depression by the Air, as E C the Part of the Tube full of the expanded Air, to E F the Part at first left full of common Air. _Fig. 6._ Is Monsieur _Azout_'s noble Experiment, to determine, that 'tis certainly the Air's Pressure that raises the Quicksilver in the Barometer. The Instrument is nothing but a double Barometer communicating together, by the Means of a small hollow Pipe in the Middle: Its lower Tube is stopp'd at the Bottom with a Bladder; and when the entire Cavities are full of Quicksilver, the Bladder is prick'd or cut, and the Quicksilver runs out: Hereupon the upper Barometer's Tube, and Part of its Bason, becomes empty; while the lower is yet full: But upon the unscrewing a Screw, and letting Air in above the upper Bason, that Air presses on the Quicksilver's Surface, and raises it into its Tube; while the same Air pressing down the upper Part of the under Tube, depresses the Quicksilver therein at the same time. _Fig. 7._ Is a Hygrometer, or Cord, with a Needle or Index in a Circle, to measure the Air's Moisture by its shrinking up, and consequent Revolution one way; and the Air's Dryness, by its Extension down, and consequent Revolution the contrary way; and both measured by the Degrees of the Bottom Circle. _Fig. 8._ Is a Syphon above 29½ Inches high, along where no Suction nor Art can make the Quicksilver run, as it uses to do when it is of any less Altitude.
