 How to keep meringue from weeping
The reason meringues weep is that they are undercooked on the bottom, and some of the moisture that is held in suspension in the egg foam seeps out all over the pie filling.
She says this keeps the meringue from shrinking, lowers the chance that beads will form on the surface, and makes a meringue that is tender and easy to cut smoothly.
If the meringue weeps, the crumbs absorb the moisture, and, whether or not there is weeping, the crumbs dissolve into the pie.

 howto_beat_egg_whites
Sometimes whipped egg whites are the sole source of leavening in a recipe and is responsible for the structure of soufflés, angel food cake, puffy omelets and meringue.
They should be thawed in the refrigerator and used quickly once they are thawed for meringues, foam cakes, etc. They whip more easily and to a greater volume than fresh egg whites, because their surface tension is reduced through freezing and thawing, giving them greater foaming power.
Egg whites with sugar added: When the egg whites are to be folded into a cake or sweet soufflé batter, you are usually directed to sprinkle in sugar after the whites have formed soft peaks, and you continue to the stiff shining-peak stage.
