Henley Sails for London.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-E. J. Henley sailed
from New York Saturday on the Servia to
see his wife, Helen Bertram,. in London
and it is understood the couple will have
settlement of some sort Mckee Rankin
is angry, claiming he had Henley's name
to contract to head a stock company at
once. All sorts of rumors were afloat on
the Rialto last night as to the cause of
Henleys unannounced departure from New
York. Some said his creditors were push
ing him and he had gone to secure financial
assistance from Miss Bertram, who has
made a hit in London. Another was that
an operation had been performed on his dis
weeks lay off, which he had decided TO
spend with his wifQ But it is no secret that
Miss Bertram's and Mr.. Henley's domestic
affairs have been rather unsettled lately
ard there is rumor that the singer has in
structal her lawyer to begin proceedings
for a separation from the actor.
DR.. Rice, when seen last night and in
formed that Mr. Henley had gone to Europe
and that there was a report that he had
skipped to avoid creditors and get aid
from his Wife remarked that, if the Her
AIDS report of the sailing were true, he
thought it much more likely that the actor
had gone abroad to his wife, and, if
possible. make up any possible differences
with her. He's fond of her and is more
anxious to see her than her money" said
DR.. Rice.

English. / will ask ii ever there was a

she is the only contralto in Europe or

GULF STREAM is NOT RESPONSIBLE
Atlantic Coast Weather Drift Is from
the West.
Philadelphia Press.


Mild Defenders and snowless Januaries
not being at all unusual in the latitude of
Philadelphia, as any careful study of the
records will show, it is rather wearisome
to find that every one of these perfectly
normal open winters calls forth a great deal
of talk about the severe winters of the past
and, moreover. the. gTatuitous information
that the climate of the coastal States is
changing because the gulf stream is COM
ing nearer the shore AS a matter of fact.
the climate is not changing. 1t is just the
same now as it was in colonial days, and it
is likely to remain the same for thousands
of years to come, until some cosmical re-
verse gives the earth new pOiSe on its
axis. But. wholly aside from this, the drag
ging in of the gulf strea as predsposing
cause toward mild weather is unwarranted,
since the gulf stream has all it can do to
live up to the reputation given it as an
ameliorator of European weather.
The reason why the gulf stream has moth
ing to do with the climate of the Eastern
part of the United States north of 80 de-
grees of latitude is made plain when one
remembers that the weather drift is from
west to east. This gives to the Eastern
coastal States climate determined not by
the ocean that laves their shores. but by the
great continent to the west. On the con-
trary, England and the European continent
getting the ocean weather drift without
taking into account the supposed great
warmth of the gulf stream. in consequence
have mild climate, as the ocean is a heat
conServator in the winter and profoundly
modifes those regions which it affects. If
by any means there was reversal of the
weather drift. then New England and New
Jersey would enjoy winter baln which
would penetrate to the Alleghenies. But
there is no reversal, and can be none under
present astronomical conditions.
So far as districts in and about Philadel-
phia are concerned. mild, open winter,
or mild spells in an otherwise normally
cold winter, is caused not by any oceanic
changes or imaginary shifts of the gulf
stream, but by the character of weather
drift from the West 1t is in the Northwest
and Southwest that one must look for the
dominating. weather Influences. and not
eastward. 1t is the movement of the great
descending swirls and ascending whirls of
areas of high barometric and low baromet-
ric pressure. respectively, that determines
our weather. If these take a northerly
track and keep well up along the lakes
mild weather will prevail, as southern con-
ditions are then dragged north. If on the
other hand the drift is southeastward and
low down. cold waves and SHOWS will be
our lot And winters of this character will
prevail, as they have in the past. and open
winters will also repeat themselves. But
the severity or the m1ldness is not determ-
ined by the gulf stream, and the sooner
this pet idea is given up and the real de-
termining region-the extreme west-stud-
led. the better for the amateur meteorolo-

why the Paper Collapsed.

New York Letter IN Plttsburg Dispatch.
A few weeks ago Uncle Russell Sage set
up financial news plant for a young man
who nailed a photographic lie that reflected
on him. The newspaper looked prosperous
but while it was growing it was running
behind little. A week or so ago when Mr.
Sage dropped in to look at the profit and
loss account he found $50 on the wrong side
of the ledger The young man was putting
a Park row perfecto. How much did that
cigar cost?" asked Uncle Russell 1t had
been given to the young editor but he told
the old man that It was worth about cents
This is downright extravaganza" cried
Mr.. Sage, petulantly. Five cents day for
S65 days would amount to $685. Do you
know what that would amount to at COM
pound interest in ten years-hey?" The
editor confessed that he wasn't good at
figures. We'll, stop the paper" said the
Disguised millionaire. 7 can't be beggared
by running a business at loss of $50 a
week, in the control of a man who burns
money, as the saying is, smoking 5-cent
cigars. My friend Daniel Drew used to
smoke stogies at 60 cents a hundred, but
that was extravagance. too" And so the
editor and the manipulation parted. This is
the first instance on record of promising
journal going up in cents worth of cigar
smoke.

this agonizing cry is heard. 1t penetrates to
the spinal marrow of everyone in the audi

tear on the nervous systems of the stage
hands. In the last act it is heard again;
this time it is caused by the sight of the
wild beasts that are awaiting the boy as
