Meteorie Electricity, We now know quite aecurately the nature of lightning and the method of production of the enormous elec- trical pressure exhibited by the flash. When clouds a densation of v water from the vapor in the air, un- der certain conditions, these drops exhibit a small electrical charge, As the drops coalesce the eapacity in- creases less rapidly than the quantity of charge, for the reason that two drops of equal size, when they flow together, produce one of on ly larger diameter, and the capacity is determined by the diameter. this account the drops formed by the flowing together of the small mist particles, long before they attain such size as to be precipitated as rain, acquire an electrical charge of enor. mous voltage, sufficient often to leap a-distance of a mile through the air. This must correspond with pressures only to be indicated by millions of volts.—Electrical Review. Fig-Coffee, For some years there has been man- ufactured in Austria a product called coffee of figs which is much appreciated any and in Austria-Hungary. Its nutritive power is considerable, It is obtained by drying fruits—especially figs—and mixing them with coffee.
