An instrument for the accurate measurement of small

of the upper surfaces of two columns of mercury or other
fluid, or of the same column at different times. It consists
of a telescopic leveling apparatus (d), which slides up or

the objects or surfaces, and the differences in vertical
height are thus shown on the graduated standard. [Written
