Asi Is to 0.785399, so is the fquare of the diameter to the areacf the circle. And as i is to 0.7853.99, so is the fquare of the dia-meter multiplied by the height to the solidity of the Cylinder. Bythis analogy the solid inches and parts of an inch in the tables are ;calculated to a cylinder 200 feet high, of any diameter from 1 inchto 61 , and may be continued at pleafure.

, And as to the, weight of a cubic foot of running water, it has been*osten found upon trial, by Dr. Wyberd and others, to be 76 poundstroy, which is eqüal to 62.5 pounds avoirdupoife. Therefor-e, lineethere are 1728' cubic inches in a cubic foot, a troy ounce of watercontains 1.8949 cubic inch; and an avoirdupoife ounce of water 1.72556cubic inch. Confequently, if the number of cubic inches contained in3 any
