KILLED BY A NEEDLE
POINT PlERcEs HEART OF GIRL
AND CAUSES DEATH.
SHE HAD COMPLAINED OF PAINS
Leakage in Vital Organ Found by
Physicians at Post-Mortem
Examination.

Warsaw, Ind. "A needle point
travelled with ~16-year-old violetta
Bowen's veins from her hand,
through her arm, shoulder and chest
to her heart, in the opinion of physi-
clans who examined her after death
here early Friday. The steel pene-
trated her heart, and she died within
live minutes after she awakened her
mother to complain of the pain.
When the point of the needle en-
tered the girls hand is not definitely
known. She is fond of aiding her
mother with her sewing, but never
complained that she had stuck herself
with a needle.
For several weeks the girl had com
planned of sharp pains, first in her
hand and wrist, later through her arm,
then in the shoulder, in the neck and
in the, chest.
The mother couldn't imagine what
the matter was. She thought perhaps
it was rheumatism.
At 1870 Friday morning the girl
awakened her mother with a sharp cry
of pain. Physicians were summoned,
but before they arrived the girl was
dead.
Leakage Of Heart Caused Death.
The post-mortem examination a
noon revealed that the girl had died
from leakage of the heart. Whether
the needle entered the heart imme-
diatly before death could not be de-
termined, but the physicians think it
may have been there several days and
forced its way entirely through the
wall Friday morning.
Miss Bowen came here two weeks
ago with her mother, Mrs. Theresa
Walden, who has married a second
time. Joseph Bowen, her father, from
whom her mother is divorced, lives at
Gerlaw, Ind. Mrs. Walden's home
now is in Denver, Colo.

Smyrna Fias,

Smyrna figs ripen by the beginning
Of August. They are not picked, but
when they reach a certain maturity
they begin to dry, and consequently
they drop on the ground. In the morn.
ing everybody on the plantations goes
around with buckets gathering the
fruit, which they carry to a certain
place where the ground is covered
with dry leaves and straw (sergeD
and on which they spread the fruit,
exposing it to the sun, allowing it to
remain there from two to three days.
1t takes about three days to dry the
fig If north winds prevail, as the at
mosphere is then very dry. If, how.
ever, westerly winds are blowing,
which means heavy dew at night, the
fruit must remain exposed to the sun
from five to " days. This is a
dangerous period. as rain or even a
shower might ruin hundreds of tons Of
fruit lying on the ground. Heavy dews
sometimes are just as detrimental.
The proper atmospheric conditions to
insure a crop Of large. sound. rich figs
are west winds in June and July, fol-
lowed by north winds in August, and
from then IN an occasional west wind
every five or six days.

variety of colors. Two are blue, n
Is yellow and n red.
Jupiter needs all Its moons at night
for Illumination, for without them its
ave hours Of darkness would be black
Indeed. So distant is the sun that
broad daylight is hardly brighter than
twilight on earth, and one lone noon
would not reflect enough of the suns
rays to guide the Jovian footsteps.
In the polar and semipolar areas the

eddies and occasional wtndstorms such
as there are on earth. And in these
localities it is possible for smaller
creatures to exist. and here. too. vege-
tation would flourish. The food sup
ply Of Jupiter must come from these
areas, where it is cultivated and ship
ped to the equatorial regions by the
diminutive races. The polar oceans
are not frozen because Of the great
internalt heat of Jupiter. And on these
still a probably ships not greatly
different from ours ply. but about the
equator the unending storm would
make surface sailing impossible.
If there are ships at all at the equa-
tor they are submarines. which dive
into the calm depths beneath the sur
face. Locomotion by flying machines
is extremely easy on the equator be-
cause. by taking advantage Of the
wind, the Jovians can navigate their
planet at tremendous speed.
It is possible that because of the

THE Planet JUPITER
A Monster World, 1900 Times
the Size of Ours.
WHIRLs WITH AWFUL SPEED.

Il Spins Around at Such q Fearful
Gait That q Furious Gale Perpetual
ly Encireles its Equator-lts Posi-.
BILE Inhabitants and lts Moons.
It is curious how little the average
person knows about Jupiter. He has
heard a lot, too much perhaps, about
Mars, but that world, 1900 times the
size of ours, whirling in the terrible
outer distance of space with it's five
moons, its IA months yearly. known
as Jupiter Is almost If not quite a mys-
terry.
In the first place, Jupiter, according
to some astronomers, is inhabited.
SO are some of its moons, in the
midst Of which the great planet spins
around like a top at such tremendous
speed that it causes around the equator
q furious wind that blows perpetually
at a rate Of about $50 miles an hour.
In the midst of this never ending,
bowling gale live the Jovians. Some
astronomers say that because Jupiter
Is SO much bigger and heavier than
the earth no creature of any weight
can support itself. A man weighing
200 pounds on this earth would, if car
ried to Jupiter, weigh 500 pounds, and,
reasoning thus, they believe that moth
ing bigger than a cat could stand on
this vast world.
But this is no doubt a mistake. If
Jupiter stood still or revolved no faster
than our earth all that astronomy says
would be true, and a terrestrial nan
could not stand upon it's surface. But
as a fact the tremendous rate of revo-
luton is so much faster than the
earth's that in spite Of its monstrous
size it turns about in less than ten
hours as against our twenty-four
hours.
As it is, a man of normal earthly
size, If transported to the equator of
Jupiter, would actually feel much
lighter than he does here on earth. be-
cause the swift rotation Of the planet
would almost lift him from his feet
and throw him into the heavens. He
would feel SO light that the $50 mile
IN hour tornado that blows incessant-
ly would pick him up and carry him
around and around the planet like a
speck of dust.
In order to keep on his feet the
Jovian man or woman would have to
be about fifty feet tall. Some of them
would doubtless reach the height Of
dfty-ive feet. Like all big bodies. the
Jovian would have a tendency to slow
ness of motion. Having once seated
himself, he would spend a good twelve
hours at his breakfast and perhaps
eighteen at his dinner and would prob
ably throw up his job If his employer
allowed him less than six hours for
his lunch.
The oceans Of Jupiter, torn into fury
by the hurricanes, would pay no atten-
ton to one moon such as moves the
tides on our earth, and it takes no
fewer than five of these satellites to
perform this work for Jupiter. they
travel at various rates Of speed, soma
dying very close to Jupiter's surface
and others far off. They have atmos-
pheres somewhat like ours on earth.
