Torricelli, however, in 1643, made an experiment which gave the true explanation of the pump-maker's difficulty. Filling with mercury a glass tube three feet in length, and closed at one end but open at the other ; he closed the open end with his finger, and inverted the tube in a basin filled with mercury.
