KILLS FIRST DEER?John Wilson Gib
son, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. S. B.
Gibson of Warrenton, killed his first deer
on last Saturday morning, the first time
he ever shot at a deer. The 200-lb. buck
deer was killed near the "Horseshoe," be
tween Centerville and Essex, around 9 a. m.
The boy used a single-barrel sawed-off
shotgun, using buckshot. John Wilson md
his father posed with the deer here Satur
day morning.
Radio Telescope Probes
Mysteries Of Jupiter
WASHINGTON ? A giant
new radio telescope may help
solve some of the mysteries
of the giant planet Juipter.
The 300-foot-wide electronic
"dish" at Green Bank, West
Virginia, recently detected in
one day as many radio emis
sions from Jupiter as smaller
instruments have recorded in
a month.
Tuning in on radio signals
from Jupiter is an astro
nomical innovation, the Nat
ional Geographic Society
says. Not until 1955 did
astronomers learn that Jupi
ter was emitting long-wave
radio signals.
It was a surprising discov
ery, because plants usually
transmit only short waves
generated by heat. The
source of Jupiters' long waves
still is unknown. Several
theories are current.
Tremendous Storms
Astronomers have variously
speculated that the signals
emanate from, tremendous
electrical storms; from elec
trons trapped ?nd energized
by the planet's potent mag
netic field; from the sun's
effect on Jupiter's iono
sphere; or from powerful dis
turbances deep within the
planet itself.
In any case, the strength of
the radio waves indicates
enormous sources of energy
?the equivalent of 10 large
hydrogen bombs exploding
every second. By the time
the signals complete their
half-billion-mile journey to
earth, they sound like suri
breaking on a pebbly beach.
An English astrophysicist
said that if the signals were
being sent by 'little men,"
they must have a "most mo
notonous hit parade."
Another mystery is the
composition of the huge
planet, which is bigger in
mass and volume than aS
the solar-system plants put
together. The equatorial di
?meter of Jupiter is 88.70C
? miles, compared to earth's
7,900 miles. Jupiter's vast
globe- could hold *,300 earths
bat it Is only 300 fllim
heavier.
Jupiter's relatively lighl
weight suggests that a large
part of the planet, per ha pi
all of it, consists of gas?but
in forms, unknown on earth.
One widely held theorj
holds that Jupiter it made
tn> chiefly of hydrogen. Mucli
of the gas is so compressed
by tremendous pressure neat
the center of the planet thai
Another theory suggest!
that Jupiter has a rocky
metallic core 37.000 milei
overlaid by an lc<
17,000 miles thick
turn is covered bj
Great Red Spot
Perhaps the greatest Jov
ian mystery is the Great Red
Spot, an oval-shaped object
in the southern half of the
planet. When first observed
in 1664. the spot was brick
red and covered a bigger sur
face than the earth's circum
ference. Since then, astron
omers have watched its color
vary from salmon pink to a
greenish white.
The spot seemingly is not
attached to the solid portion
of Jupiter and drifts like a
huge raft in the sea. As
tronomers believe it actually
is a solid body suspended in
Jupiter's dense atmosphere.
I It could be metallic hydrogen
or solid helium.
The Great Red Spot and
other features of Jupiter will
be pictured in the forthcom
ing atlas, "A Photographic
Study of the Brighter Plan
ets," produced by the Lowell
Observatory of Flagstaff,
Arizona, and the National
Geographic Society. The at
las will reproduce detailed
pictures of Jupiter and its
relatively close neighbors?
Mercury, Mars, Venus, and
Saturn.

crops depend on insects for
