Book III. METEOROLOGICAL MACHINES. 293 Subsect. 3. Meteorological Machines. 1487. The garden-indicators of weather differ from those in common use only in two instances, that of the registering thermometer and regu- lating thermometer. The barometer, hygrometer, rain-gauge, and vane or Eolian index, may all be usefully employed in gardening, (1278.) and should be fitted up in and about the gardener's office. The rain- gauge and vane may be placed on the roof of his office, and should communicate with the interior by means of tubes and machinery, the detail of which is perfectly known to opticians, and such as fit up ap- paratus of this kind. 1488. Six's registering thermometer (Jig. 216.) is so contrived as to indicate the extreme points to which it falls or rises in the course of the day or night, and is, therefore, particularly useful as a check upon the working gardeners, who have to attend to the fires, or steam, &c. of hot-houses in the winter time. In the open air it is also a very useful instrument, by pointing out the extremes of temperature. (Nich. Enct/c. art. Thermometer.) * ' 217 216
