After all there is a scientific req son for the old rhyme:
 Coming storms on shooting corns
 presage,
 Your aches will throb. your hollow
 tooth will rage"
 It's the low barometric pressure that sets the aches ito throb" and the hollow tooths to rage" Pro lessor Cox, the weather man, had to admit that United States Judge Be- thea's rheumatic twinges were, after all, good signs of rain, and so he ex- plained scientifically what caused it, thus: When there is a lower barO- metric pressure, the weighing down of the air is diminished and ac- cordingly the air in the blood vessels and skin expands, causing pain. A lower barometer always proceed \ rain, and this explains why rheuma- . tism is always more painful just before a storm. When the barom- eter rises, the outside air becomes heavier the pressure of the air with in the body is lessened and the pain ceases" According to Professor Cox, this is the basic principle of all the old time weather saws:
 "Old sinners who have all points Of the compass in their joints, Can by their pains and aches find All turns and changes of the wInd.'
 Humidity has nothing whatever to do with these signs; joints are just as likely to ache during q dry low as a wet low barometer; so says the weather man.

The largest hay crop in the his tory of the country is predicted for this year. according to advance re- ports received in this city. Weather conditions in the middle western states this spring have been pecu- liarly adapted for the growing of grasses and the latest government report placed the development to date at @ per cent. This Is an un- usual figure. So great is the inter est in wheat and cotton that the importance to the country of a good hay crop is seIden g7say realized. Its value each year, however. is over half a billion dollars, and last year 1t was the second most valuable crop grown in the United States, outrank- ing both wheat and cotton and ex- ceeded only by corn. Hay has the unique distinction of being the only agricultural product approaching it in importance which is never sold for future delivery and that is absolutely dependent for it's price on the daily Fluctuations of suppiy and demand. In the case of the cereals and cotton the producer is able to sell his pro duct at figure made in a world market and miller or manufacturer by buying for future delivery can tell beforehand what his flour or his cot ton cloth is going to cost him. Large users of hay, however, do not know from one day to another what price they will have to pay. Chicago con sumes 70 carloads of hay a day. or nearly 300,000 tons year. Much of this comes from Ohio, Indiana, Ili- nois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. and even from points as distant as Kansas, Arkansas and Indian Terri tory. New York and Pennsylvania are the banner hay states, with Iowa close third.

Babies of two continents next Christmas will find St. Nick's pack to l.e light. a depression in the German t7y industries is foreboding. Toy dealers here and throughout the Unit cd States have materially reduced their orders. In January, 1908, the ex- ports of toys from Germany to the United States amounted to 560 tons. This was a little more than half the amount in 1907. when the figures for the same period showed an export of 9G4 tons to this country. Two things caused the decrease; in the first place, the financial stringency has caused a marked falling off in the American trade. On top of this discOuraging in fluence, the German manufacturers of toys have attempted to raise their prices from 10 to 15 per cent, which buyers refused to like, and in fact it closed the foreign markets to a large extent. In Chicago the books of the collector of customs show that in April. 1907, German toys to the value of $21,554 were imported by Chicago firms. In 1908, during the same month, only $11,69O worth were re- ceived. This shows a drop of nearly one-half in the Chicago toy trade. One of the largest toy dealers in the west expects that his purchases from Ger many this year will be at least 40 per cent less than usual. Another esti- mates that his importations will be cut down third. As a result of all this the American toymakers are in a des- perate condition, the home toymakers while in the factories the hours of labor, number of employees and salaries have been reduced.

Supervisor Hooks announced yesterday that at

enacted law has caused much dissatisfaction.
and he feels certain that If il had been submit

Not a few OF the other supervisors believe
with Hooks that the repeal OF the ordinance
would give general satisfaction and they VIII

Want INSPECTORS
TO WATCH DITCHFS
Supervisors Are Asked to Pre-
vent Obstruction of Streets
by Open Trenches

George Renner of the draymen's as
sociation and L. NJ. King, secretary of
the merchants association. appeared
before the street committee of the SUI
pervisors yesterday to urge that the
ordinance regulating the opening of
streets for the purpose of laying pipes
and conduits be amended in accord
ance with the recommendations of the
latter body. They argued in favor of
,districting the city and placing an in
spector in charge of each district to
compel the public service corporations
to properly refill and resurface trenches
opened by them. They said that the
existing law should be amended to
make 1t unlawful to open a. street for
a distance of more than 900 feet from
the end of the pipe being laid, the
trench to be ref1lled within "a hours.
Under no circumstances, they said,
should the trench remain open more
than ~ hours.
The committee did not take action
on the recommendations pending a con-
ference with the public works commits
sioners. believing that with more in
spectors that body could prevent the
trenches.
The committee will report in favor
OF amending the rock crushing ordi-
nance and have 1t include brick crush
ing machines. Many complaints have
been filed with the board concerning
the dust that flies from brick crushing
machines now being operated in the
downtown districts.
Action on the acceptance of deed
of a boulevard to the city by the Park
side realty company was postponed un-
til the next meeting. as the members
of the committee had arranged to in
spect the proposed route of the West
ern Pacific railroad across the Potrero
hills. The committee was met at
Twenty fifth and Iowa streets by prop
erty owners, who claim that the rail-
road will injure their holdings The
committee reserved its decision in the
matter of recommending that the fran
chise asked for by the railroad be
granted.
