The Turkish Rebellion.
Advises from Bosnia of Sept. Bth re

Dalmatia Is feeding 30,000 refugees
from the Insurrectionary districts.
Montenegro is quiet.
Utilizing Deserts.
There is little doubt but that at no
distant day even the most unattrac
tive localities in California will be
utilized in some manner. The active
and enterprising people pouring to
our shores are constantly experiment
ing with our new industries. The
desert back of San Diego it is now
thought will become a vast hemp field.
Dr. Ed. Palmer who has been devo
ting attention to the cultivation of this
plant in that section, reports that
hemp of fair quality of fiber, with
good color attained a satisfactory
length, and the only difficulty met
with was, the shortness of the joints
which rendered the seperation of the
fiber difficult. Mechanical engenuity
will doubtless overcome this obstacle,
aud thousands of acres of waste lands
thus become productive.
An Improvident People.
California ought to be the richest
aud most Independent country on the
face of the globe. She is a land of
wonderful aud varied resources and
such a condition of affairs as could be
construed into a financial panic or
even a stringency of the mouey mar
ket should be unknown within her
borders. She is capable of produciug
almost every article necessary to the
existance of civilized humanity. We
are now exporting from thirty to fifty
million dollars of gold annually while
if we practised that thrift aud economy
which characterizes a frugal and in
dustrious people we could retain at
home three-fourths of the money we
now send abroad. There is no deny
ing the fact, we are the most extrava
gant and improvident of people. We
waste substance sufficient to support a
small nation. The California family
breakfast from Porter-house steak and
dine off roast beef every day while the
Switzer of moderate means has his
meat dinners but two or three times
per week. With a country that grows
the finest wine grape in the world we
import at a heavy cost our champaign
and claret. We search the diamond
markets of the old world for the rarest
stones and the finest lace and the rich
est silks find a ready market in Cali
fornia. That a thing is costly and
rare is to the Californian sufficient in
centive to purchase. In the estimation
of the average Californian, money has
no value except to aid in tbe purchase
of something he does not need or could
do without. Within the past quarter
of a century, Californians have wast
ed in useless expenditure more money
than it would take to build the South
ern Overland Railroad. That we have
not come to grief and poverty long airo
is due not to ourselves but 10 the won
derful resources of our country.
Why It Does Not Rain.
The singular climate of the Pacific
Coast has perhaps puzzled most of our
citizens. Scarcely one in a hundred
who has come to California has not
asked himself frequently why it does
not rain on this coast in summer; why
It does rain in winter, and why the
temperature should vary so much
from the same latitude on the Atlan
tic. We think we can make it clear
to all, and shall start with the asser
tion tbat It is primarily because our
mountains are so numerous, and are
composed principally of sandstone and
granite in their uppermost strata. The
connection between the formation of
our mountains and the climate may
not appear, at first view, but our read
ers will soon see the relation.
Nearly all the soil of California is
of decomposed rock. Tbere being a
very large proportion of indissoluble
element in the shape of sand, the sur
face soil is everywhere porous, and
Hence incapable of holding water for
any length of time. For this reason
the waters sink below the surface and
find v subterranean outlet to the
ocean. There is then comparativel}
no evaporation of water from the sur
face, and vegetation is so scarce there
is an extremely small quantity of
moisture given to the air by the leaves
of grasses, plants and trees, for it is
well known that trees and plants are
nature's pumps to draw up tho sur
plus water from below and give it back
to the atmosphere, to be borne upon
the wings of the wind to other clime*.
Having established this point, now let
us turn to the clouds. Tbe agency of
heat in the process of evaporation is
well known. Every one daily expe
riences the absorption of heat by the
moisture evaporated from the skin.
We can feel the perspiration taking
the heat from our bodies to lure it
away into space. Over the vast ex
panse of the Pacific ocean, this evapo
ration of water is going on at all
times. With tho air stagnant, this
moisture would rise and fall back
again shortly to the same spot when
the 9un's raya were withdrawn. But
the alternate absorption and expulsion
of heat by the soil, causes the air near
the surface of the earth to rise. A vac
cuum is thus made, and the atmos
phere lying over the ocean rushes in
to till the void. Thus it is in sum
mer the breeze is always to the land
and not away from it. The clouds
then, or rather bodies of mist, float
from the ocean toward our shores.
When they pass over the land they
encounter a risiug stream of dry heat
ed air. The clouds or bodies of sus
pended moisture rapidly absorb the
heat and rise higher and higher their
rain-bearing powers, being augment
ed with their greater temperature. A
cloud may be compared to a hot-air
balloon. Give it heat and its buoyan
cy is increased; takeaway its heat und
it is precipitated to the earth. The
bodies of vapor comiug in from the
Pacific during the Summer, are given
more buoyancy by the hot dry air ris
ing from the ground, and bear their
moisture away into the interior, often
until within the water-shed of the
Mississippi river, where are encoun
tered cold stratas of air, aud their load
of water is precipitated to the earth.
The absorption of heat by the light
bodies of mist, accounts for the mild
ness of our Summers. The heat trav
els off with the vapor.
In the winter the sun moves farther
south, and tbe ground ceases to fur
nish so much dry heat to the clouds
coming ln from the Pacific. These
clouds, too, have to contend against
a disturbing element shortly after
reaching the land, in the shape of cold
north winds, which take away the
heat and precipitate the suspended
moisture to the earth. Just before aud
after a rain the weather is very sultry.
A cloudy day is a warm one. A rain
fall in the vicinity ever causes the
thermometer to rise, as was the case
Wednesday and Thursday in this city.
The clouds have met with a cold strata
of air which, taking oil' the heat,
caused the smaller particles of vapor
to rush together In denser form under
the law of cohesion. They are driven
back to us, black and threatening, and
are unable to absorb any more heat.
We know it is common to account
for the coolness of California in Sum
mer, by locating a sea current from
the Arctic seas olf the coast; but an
examination of the maps aud charts
will show no such current. The Kuro
Simo, which originates in the Indian
ocean and trends across the Pacific in
the direction of Bhering's Straits, is
the only current known to men of sci
ence. The coldness of the waters of
the Pacific near the shore, may be in a
measure accounted for from the fact
that all its accession of waters is from
subterranean sources, which must
therefore be cold. The rapid absorp
tion of heat, caused by the evapora
tion of moisture, induced by the trade
winds, which in turn spring from the
upward current of hot dry air ou the
land, also accounts for the low tem
perature of the ocean.
In upper Africa the same causes op
erate and are followed by like results.
The vapors arising from the sea are
given new wings by the dry hot air of
Sahara, and pass far back into the
heart of tbe continent before meeting
any cold stratas of air to precipitate
their moisture in the shape of rain.
These clouds have to cross the equator,
however, before meeting any disturb
ing element, and hence never return
to tbe sandy wastes, so that Egypt is
forever without rain.
On another occasion we shall show
the changes through which the Pacific
coast has probably passed, and throw
some light upon the causes which
tended to depopulate these wilds of
the aborigine inhabitants, and bury
vast cities in unfathomable depths.

Tbe Handicap Race.
Sacramento, Sept. 17th.—Only two
started, viz: Theodore Winter's Bal
lot Box, 6 years old, by Norfolk, and
C. Thomas's bay mare, Irene Hardiug
by Jack Melone. This was a a race
upon which the interest centered.
Tlie betting men showed that they re
tained their confidence in Ballot Box,
inspired by the only race he had ever
run, and they backed him finely in
the pools at odds of one hundred to
sixty. Harding tried the inside posi
tiou. A very fair start was made on
the first trial, Harding immediately
rushed to the front and on rounding
the first turn was a length ahead. Bal
lot Box was then stirred up and at the
quarter the mare was only a neck and
shoulder ahead. Ballot Box contin
ued to gain and at a half a mile the
horses were running neck and neck.
Around the turn Harding had fallen
away again, but at at the end of the
mile, which was made in 1:46, she was
again a short length ahead and the ri
der of Ballot Box was plying the whip.
Around tlie turn the i iure ran steadily
and increased her lead. At the quar
ter sbe was a length and a half ahead,
and was being pulled back to rest her,
while the spectators had concluded
that Ballot Box had no chance of win
ningtheraee. He improved his pace
however,|around fourth turn and when
they were coming in on tlie home
stretch he was but a short length
ahead, but he continued to gain and
the rider of Harding was forced to ply
the whip and spur vigorously. The
game son of Norfolk came up gallant
ly but the mare had too much lead
and speed for him to win and Harding
passed under the wire neck and shoul
ders ahead of him. Time, 3:39}
The third race was for trotters, mile
heats, 3 in 5 for special purse of $300.
The entries were Wm. Trunant's bay
gelding, Jim Farreli; Don Denni
son's, S. M. Clark; L. G. Rose's
brown gelding, Tenny Gates; W. L.
Pritchard's sorrel gelding, Teddy Mc-
Gee; Joseph Tennant's sorrell geld
ing: Sorrel Ned, and T. E. Scriber's
roan gelding, Roanoke. In the esti
mation of betting men they rated as
follows: Gates $130, Sorrel Ned $77*,
Clark $47J, and field 42J. The placing
was as tol lows: Sorrel Ned Ist, Tony
Gates 2d, Teddy McGee 3d, Sorrel 4tb,
Clard sth and Roanoke slh. After
a dozen futile scorings the bell tapped
them oft* on a very straggling start,
Ned being a length ahead of Gates,
who held the second place. Just be
fore reaching the quarter pole Ned
broke broke but regained his feet hard
ly aud still retained the lead of half
length at pole. Going down to the
hole Ned trotted away from his com
petitors again, with Farreli crowding
Gates for the second place, and the oth
ers falling behind. Time to the half
mile pole 1:18$. Around the turn they
went in iv much the same order. Ned
retaining his lead wite Gates gradual
ly closing the gap between them, and
Farreli falling towards the others in
the rear. Down the stretch when
Gates was becoming a dangerous com
petitor for the first place, Ned was
forced to break and lost.

ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP.
Meeting; of a Masonic Lodge ou the
Summit of Mouut Davidson.
[From the Virginia Enterprise, Sept. 7th.]
A notable event In the masonic his
tory of Nevada—we may say in the
United States—occured near this city
yesterday. After the destruction of
their Hall by fire, the Masons met for
some time iv the Lodge room of the
Odd Fellows, in Odd Fellows' build
ing. This was likewise destroyed by
fire a few days ago, leaving the Order
without an appropriate place of meet
ing. In this emergency the Master of
Virginia Lodge No. 3. in imitation of
a custom of the Craft in ancient times
called a meeting of his Lodge or* the
summit of Mount Davidson yesterday
afternoon. Over three hundred mem
bers of the Order were in attendance.
When it is considered that the top of
Mount Davidson is seven thousand
eight hundred and twenty-seven feet
above the level ofthe sea, and nearly
seven hundred feet above Virginia
City, the significance of this large con
vocation will be appreciated.
THE SUMMIT OFTHE MOUNTAIN
Is a pointed mass of broken granite,
yet almost upon the very apex a rude
altar of stone was erected, and around
it gathered over three hundred Masons
who, in the heat of the mid-day sun,
had toiled up the rugged mountain
side to witness theopeniugof a Mason
ic Lodge at a place so unusual; and
there, overlooking a city of twenty
thousand people, tbe Lodge was open
ed partially in form, and its regulai
business transacted. From the sum
mit of the mauntain the country for a
radius of perhaps a hundred miles on
every side is visible, with its towns,
lakes, mountains, valleys, hoisting
works, quartz mills and railroads. The
view is one of the grandest in the
State, and the gathering yesterday
was in the eye of every Mason present
scarcely less grand than the surround
ings. As the Lodge was opened,
THE WHITE EMBLEM OF THE ORDER
"Was thrown to the breeze from the
flagstaff on the summit, and the cheers
that greeted it must have been beard
in the valley below. Music, speeches
and a bountiful repast for all enlivened
the proceedings, and ats o'clock, or a
few moments earlier, the concourse
wended theirway down the mountain
side. Members of the order were in
attendance from Gold Hill, Silver City
Dayton and Carson, and so impressed
were all present with the graudeur
and solemnity of the occasion, that
the rude altar was almost chipped in
pieces, to be preserved as mementoes
of an event so unusual in the annals of
the Order. It is probable that a Ma
sonic Lodge was never before opened
in the United States at so great an ele
vation—certainly never upon so prom
inent a point iv the light of day. The
occasion will long be remembered, not
only Ly those present, but by the peo
ple of Storey county.
