Show NEW YORK IN THE TROPICS? Gulf Stream Some Day May Warm the Icy Waters of the North. Rome day the Gulf stream may smash back the icy water of the Labrador Lab-rador drift and make New York as warm as European and Asiatic cities of the same latitude. It may even come to pnss, as Father Odenbach of Cleveland suggests, that these parts will be tropical. True, the Jesuit scientist sci-entist reassures us by saying that a great swerving of the Gulf stream is Improbable, but even the slim possibility possi-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, alligators alliga-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 month's heat is only natural. And in August, when a seeming simoon 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 a Monday evening in November, the New York .Sun observes. |
