1 .
A device ,
consisting of a pipe or tube bent so as to form two branches or legs of unequal length ,
by which a liquid can be transferred to a lower level ,
as from one vessel to another ,
over an intermediate elevation ,
by the action of the pressure of the atmosphere in forcing the liquid up the shorter branch of the pipe immersed in it ,
while the continued excess of weight of the liquid in the longer branch (
when once filled )
causes a continuous flow .
The flow takes place only when the discharging extremity of the pipe ia lower than the higher liquid surface ,
and when no part of the pipe is higher above the surface than the same liquid will rise by atmospheric pressure ;
that is ,
about 33 feet for water ,
and 30 inches for mercury ,
near the sea level .
