REMARKABLE ELECTRICAL PHENOMBMONi Tto following curious cotwmanication, ill regard to a remarkablo electrical ph'.-iiomenon, bus been recently uiadu to the Paris Academy of Sciences.

A certain quantity of the sil ver was vaporiz-d bv the action of tto lightning, and passing throned the leath er lining of the parse, was deposited with great uniformity on Ihe gold coin, which all the appearance of silrer. while tto surface of ihe silver coins bad assumed the appearance of having been matted or frosted. M. Bobierresaid ttot he bad ax uinined the gold coin with a microscope, aud found that tto silver, was uniformly deposited, apparently in the form of globules without any any intervals be tween i hem. Having removed a smalt portion of tto silver by means of a weak acid, he found I tot I he . surface of tba gold coin had been affected, and presented a very different appearance to that pro- duced by tbe coining press, and waa, in JP fact, nearly iu the same condition as tto posited silver : fusion had in fact coiu- menced, but the effect had toeu instanta neous, aud purely superficial.
