The
Chemical
Barometer.
Take
a
long
narrow
bottle,
such
as
an
old-fashioned
Eau-de-Cologne
bottle,
and
put
into
it
two
and
a
half
drachms
of
camphor,
and
eleven
drachms
of
spirit
of
wine;
when
the
camphor
is
dissolved,
which
it
will
readily
do
by
slight
agitation,
add
the
following
mixture:--Take
water,
nine
drachms;
nitrate
of
potash
(saltpetre),
thirty-eight
grains;
and
muriate
of
ammonia
(sal
ammoniæ),
thirty-eight
grains.
Dissolve
these
salts
in
the
water
prior
to
mixing
with
the
camphorated
spirit;
then
shake
the
whole
well
together.
Cork
the
bottle
well,
and
wax
the
top,
but
afterwards
make
a
very
small
aperture
in
the
cork
with
a
red-hot
needle.
The
bottle
may
then
be
hung
up,
or
placed
in
any
stationary
position.
By
observing
the
different
appearances
which
the
materials
assume,
as
the
weather
changes,
it
becomes
an
excellent
prognosticator
of
a
coming
storm
or
of
fine
weather.
