Question

"As no more electrical fire can be thrown into the top of the bottle"
Is this considered personification?
I'm writing a report on Benjamin Franklin's letters sent to Peter Collinson, and am having a hard time identifying some important literary elements and tone. If someone could help me with my question, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is not personification. Personification requires a human characteristic
such as " the sun was mad"
