persists In charming Its course still closer
to the Long Island coast.
Within the last few weeks reports have
been received showing that the gulf stream
Is 0 miles to the west of Its position on
the Atlantic chart of eight years ago. Cap
tain John Gardner of the Dominion line
steamship Philadelphia went so far as to
report that the gulf stream Is deviating
from Its ancient course across the Atlantic
and la taking a new one. At 40 degrees
longitude Captain Gardner declares that he

Charaetertstlra of the Stream.
As everybody learns at school, the gulf
stream takes Its mime from the Gulf of
Mexico, where its waters are raised to a
Warmth of 75 degrees F. In winter and to
83 dtgrees F. In summer. From the Qjlf of
Mexico it Issues In a tremendous volume
almost t0,0fl0,Mr",u tons of water per hour
and flows northward over the vast maas of
cooler ocean beneath. As It Issues from
between Florida and Cuba it Is equivalent
to a stream about fifty miles wide and
over 6"0 feet deep.
Gradually It spreads out like a partly
opened fan, the more eastern part grad
ually cooling and losing Itself in the At
lantic, the western and stronger stream
flowing steadily In a northeasterly direc
tion and fended oft" from the American
coast by the cold current which Is return
ing southward from the Arctic regions.
Thus the gulf stream plays on north
western Europe like a stream of warm
water flowing from a hose, and the water
which has left the Gulf of Mexico In the
hot summer months probably reaches the
wes'ern coast of Britain and Norway, of
Iceland and possibly even Spitsbergen dur
ing the winter season. This constant sup
ply of warm water to the western coasts
of these European countries affects the
climate to a very appreciable degree. 1 The
effect Is most marked In winter. While the

Mew York'i Fond Hope.
Coupling these observations with official
reports made to the naval hydrographlc
office at Washington to the effect that tho
gulf stream is shifting its base hundreds
of miles rearer to New York, the question
naturally arlyeji ns to what Is going to
happen to the climate of New York In case
the gulf stream finally laps the Long Is
land shore and even ventures Into New
York bay and up the Hudson. Scientists
have answered this by declaring that New
York will gain more than It will lose by
the chance. The climate will become
much similar to that of Naples. There
will be practically no winter. Coney Is
land will become a perpetual summer re
sort like Palm Beach, and palm trees, peli
cans and other tropical plants and birds
will be as common In New York as they
are In Florida. New York World.
FUR TRUST WAS THE FIRST
Famous Hudson Day Company the
f Oldest Monopoly In North
America.
In 127 a Frenchman named Pu Pont
set up a little trading post at the Junc
tion of the Saguenay river with the St.
Lawrence. He sold his merchandise to the
Indians and took his pay In furs. A few
years later the French Fur company was
chusetts university. But now as the two
wandering Harvard men emitted the old
cry a queer thing happened. From a group
of Dowery loungers on the opposite corner
echoed a prolonged answering "Oh-h-h
Rhlnohart."
Ithlnehnrt Responds.
The cry was taken up by others In front
of the Capitol saloon and went scurrying
up the street. A window was thrown up
In the third story of a hotel and a slight
figure leaned out Into the night. A fa
miliar face looked up and down the street
and a voice called:
"Hello! What's the matter?"
"By Jove!" cried the Harvard man, "It's
old Rhlney himself. What the devil Is he
doing here?" And the two men crossed the
street and looked up. "Come down out of
there, you wooden Injun, and explain,"
called one. James Brice Gordon Rhinehart
Harvard graduate, aristocrat and grind
lawyer candidate for the leadership of the
'Bowery tholrd" and .iworn enemy of Big
Tim Sullivan and all the little Sulllvans,
came down and led the way Into the sa
loon, while the republican supporters along
the west side of the Bowery yelled the old
Harvard slogan of "Oh-h-h Rhinehart!"
Rhinehart is now a New .York lawyer,
with lodgings over the barroom in tho
Capitol hotel. He has an office In the
Mutual Life building on Cedar street and
Is a rising young lawyer in the metropolis.
He Is also one of the most active poli
ticians on the Bowery. The big wad of
naroors or the name are lcerjouna, tnose organised. In 1681 two employes were
of the western coast of Norway, even as ! sent to the shores of the Hudson bay
far north as Hammerfest, are always open
to shipping.
Effect on Climatic Conditions.
But the most marked effect is upon Eng
land, which Is In the same latitude as
Labrador. England's climate Is influenced
by the gulf stream, while that of Labrador
is not. England has a very delightful cli
mate all the year around, never very hot
In summer and never very cold In winter.
Labrador has ten months' winter and Is
almost uninhabitable in consequence.
It Is well known that the little Island of
Nantucket, off the Massachusetts coast, is
.brushed by the gulf stream, with most
curious results. The shore of the average
New England island Is rugged with washes
of dough sea weed, coarse shells and little
of the beauties of tropical coasts. This is
the case with the side of Nantucket that
la not touched by the iwarm waters of the
gulf stream. The surf, too, on this cold
side of the Island Is always heavy. But
on the other shore there is quite a sem
blance of a southern climate, with much
warmer water, shell fish of the kind that
Is to be found along the Florida coast, and
occasional visitors among the washed-up
denizens of the Boa that suggest a much I
'warmer climate. And there Is only six
miles difference between the two shores of 1
'the Island, where the contrasting conditions
are found.
From the above It can be readily under-

and from there to Lake Superior and Lake
Winnipeg. They reported fur-bearing ani
mals In abundance, but their employers
were not Impressed by the business pos
sibilities of the enterprise which they
suggested.
1 They went to Boston, where they
aroused Interest, but were unable to raise
funds. They went to England and then
to France. After three or four years of
effort they were brought Into contact
with Prlncs Rupert, who agreed to finance
a preliminary expedition. In 1668 a little
vessel of fifty tons, named the Nonsuch,
left England. for "parts unknown." The
expedition passed the winter In Hudson
bay and returned to England In the sum
mer of 1669 with a full cargo.
Early In 1670 King Charles II granted
to Prince Rupert and seventeen others a
charter as the "Governor and Company
of Adventurers Trading Into Hudson
j Bay." with sole rights to trade in fish,
: whales, timber, minerals, furs and numer
ous other things throughout all the ter
rltory tributary to Hudson bay. T7ie
name of Rupert's Land was given to the
district, and, although this title was long
since dropped officially. It Is still beard,
and the Church of England still has a
bishop of Rupert's Land.
The company was practically authorized
to establish and maintain a government
throughout a territory of hundreds of
thousands of square miles in extent. This
was held until Its transfer to the do
minion government In 1869, In considera
tion of 11.500,000 and the reservation to
tho company of certain lands and priv
ileges. If the right man could have access to
the records, the legends and the campflre
tales of this remarkable institution.
series of books might be written which
by comparison would make the Leather-
stocking tales seem almost Insipid and
Mayne Reld's stories almost tedious.
Many a lady's muff has cost a man's life
and many a collar has been Bent to mar
ket at the price of suffering and danger.
In 17tS a charter was obtained by the
Northwest Fur company of Montreal on
the ground of a claim that It was the
legal successor of the old French com
pany. For nearly forty years a bitter and
often bloody contest was maintained be
tween this and the old company. In 1816
the site of the present city of Winnipeg
was the scene of a pitched battle. The
two companies were consolidated in 1IS1,
because both were convinced that a con
tinuance of such hostilities meant ruin to
both.
The Hudson Bay company has been one
of the most Important advance guards of
civilization on this continent. Around
many of the forts and ports from which
the hardy and courageous "voyageurs"
and "coureurs de bols" brought the bales
of pelts by dog sled and canoe tlere have
grown up prosperous towns and cities.
Victoria, Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmon
ton were originally trading posts of this
company.
About twenty-fl-e years ago the com
pany put steamboats on the Saskatchewan
and the Mackenzie. But even now It has

received only once a year. York Factory,
established about 1670, and Fort Churchill,

Game Appeals to Htm.
Last fall he made republican speeches
from the back end of a beer wagon on
the Bowery, peeled his sharp eye on elec
tion day at the polls and came to know
all the democratic heelers of the Sulll
vans. The game appealed powerfully to
the young Pennsylvanlan with the Har
vard finish. He got the political bug and
begen to organise a machine. The Sulll
vans tittered when they heard of It. "The
Bowery has no use for the likes of him!"
they prophesied. But for once they didn't
know.
' Rhiney ran over to Washington and
saw the president, who told him to go
ahead. Then he went down to the tiow
ery and hired a room at the Capitol and
hung up his boxing gloves and tennis
racket on the walls. A waiter In the sa
loon recognized him. He was Tony, who
used to work In Beck hall, in the "yard. '
When the young man had gone to his
room Tony went out In front of the sa
loon, and, looking up, bawled:
"Oh-h-h-h Rhinehart!"
In a week the slosan was well known
on the Bowery, and as Rhlney's organi
zation grew It was taken up and blown
hither and yonder. In a few weeks it
began to look as if March (the Hon. Jim
March), republican leader of the Third
district, would go down and out before
the young man. The Sulllvans woke up
and began to fight. The Bowery sat up
and smirked over the coming row.
Oh-h-h-h Rhinehart headquarters were
opened over opposite the Mills hotel, near
Fifth avenue, and the fight was on.
And this was how it happened that a
famous old Harvard college yell received
prompt recognition in the last corner of
the country where It might have been
expected to-have elicited an answer. The
little fellow with the white hands, the
big wad of long green and the keen eyes
has more friends In that part of the city
than any other aristocrat ever boasted,
and the Sulllvans are awake to the situ
ation. Rhiney has pertinacity and stick.
'I have come to stay, and I have come
to destrc;- the Sullivan influence In this
district," he says. And those who know
the young fellow say that It Is no io'le
boast. But In the meantime the Sulllvans
smile and smile and say nothing. New
