The syphon eudiometer is a convenient instru-ment of this kind. It is formed of a straight tube moderatelystout, of about l-4th or 3-8ths of an inch internal diameter,sealed at one end, and about 22 inches long. The closed endof this tube being softened by heat, two stout platinum wiresare thrust through the glass from opposite sides of the tubes,so that their extremities in the tube approach within one-tenthof an inch of each oth

The closed endof this tube being softened by heat, two stout platinum wiresare thrust through the glass from opposite sides of the tubes,so that their extremities in the tube approach within one-tenthof an inch of each other. These are intended for the trans-mission of the electric spark, and are retained, as if cemented,in the apertures of the glass when the latter cools. One-halfthe tube next the closed end is afterwards graduated intohundredths of a cubic inch, and the tube is bent in the middle,like a syphon, as represented by a in the figure. By a littledexterity, a portion of the gaseous mixture to be exploded is See Miillers Physics and Meteorology, and Klinitzs Meteorology, by 0 % & % Fig. 113.
