new YORK IN THE TROPICS?
Gulf Stream Some Day May Warm
the Icy Waters of the
North.

Some day the Gulf stream may
smash back the icy waters of the Lab
ndor drift and make New YORK as
warm as European and Asiatic cities
of the same latitude. 1t may even
come to pass, as Father Odenbach or
Cleveland suggests, that these parts
will be tropical: True, the Jesuit SCI
enlist treasures us by saying that a
great swerving of the Gulf stream is
improbable, but even the slim posi-
bility fills the Imagination with exotic
pictures. Orange groves in northern
New Jersey, coffee plantations In place
Of Suffolk county cabbage patches
rubber forests in Connecticut, aliiga-
tors devouring canal-boat captains In
Newton creek and anacondas asleep
in Westchester jungles-it would. all
be worth while living to see.
But the time is not yet. This
months heat is only natural. And in
August, when seeming simeon comes
upon us, do not misjudge the Gulf
stream. The hot air will be from the
great wind stream that rises in the
campaign textbooks and flows until
Monday evening in November, the New
York Sun observes.
