M. Sauvageon, of Valence, has studied the different phenomena which are produced ma cup of coffee when the sugar is put into it, and the results of his observations transform it into a barometer.' "If, m swaeteqing your coffee," says M.' Sauvageon, {< you allow the sugar to d.issqlve without stirring the liquid, the globules flf air contained m the sugar will rise to the surfaoe of the liquid. If these globules form a frothy mass, re mainrng m the centre of the cup, it is the indication of duration of fine weather ; if, on the contrary, the froth forms a ring round the sides of the cup, it is the Bjgn of heavy rain ; variable weather is implied by the froth remaining stationary, but not exactly m the centre."
