quently found to be the only practicable method during thenight. The use of the small tube of communication, a b, is tccheck the undulation of the water, so that the height of it maybe read off from the scale with ease and certainty. But it isparticularly designed to prevent the water from being thrownup to a much greater or less altitude than that which the windcan sustain. The height of the column of water sustained in the wind-gauge being given, the force of the wind, upon a foot square,is easily had by the following table, and consequently on anyknown surface.
