The Misunderstanding the present
generation hns forced nature to disclose
many of her seeming mysteries our
scientific men, and they are not few,
nor yet idle, have left us Us much in
the dark concerning the rules which
govern the mutations Of the weather
as were our ancestors two centuries
ago. With the aid of the telegraph,
scientific men should be enabled to
take such observations as would, in the
course of a few years, enable them to
warn us Of changes In the weather with
the same accuracy that astronomers
now foretell eclipses. The subject Is q
most important one, and has thus far
not obtained the attention it merits.
If our farmers could receive q days
notice of 4 rain storm in harvesting or
haymaking time, millions Of dollars

The CARSON MINr.-lt appears from
the proceedings Of Congress that the
necessary appropriation for coming
money at the Carson Mint has been
made. Hereafter we may expect to
occasionally see money of strictly Ne
vada production in circulation. There
seems to have been some diversity of
opinion on the propricty Of such an
appropriation. as well rs the necessity
OF such an institution at all in this
State. The success Of the measure Is
doubtless almost wholly due to the
efforts of Mr.. Fitch, Sevada's ener-
getic Representative in Congress. As
q matter of local pride, we are pleased
to see the result as it Is. We are not
by any means prepared to conclude
that the Carson Mint, cannot be made,
by judicious management, profitable
to the Government as well rs advan-
tageous to the people. Those among
our citizens who have heretofore been
led to speak unfavorably Of the enter
prise may conclude differently rs TO
the utility of the Mint after practical
demonstration has been made. This
will doubtless be done by the present
appropriation.
