W ATKINS IIhWii tni Trlbvn) Syptlkiit 11) Snake Skin Particularly Attractive To Flycatcher You can purchase a flycatcher at any hardware store. Some folks call sticky paper a fly catcher; some folks resort to a more positive method and hit the offending insect with a swat ter. The small boy called it a "fly hitter." These catches are more or less mechanical, but there are a couple rather notable fly catchers which are not. The out fielder in the ball park is one, and the other the one that really works hard at it and does better is a bird . . . one that makes the catching of flies its life's work. The crested flycatcher is the character we have in mind, a bird about the size of a robin, but with a brown body and a yellow-white breast. On the top of the head this bird wears a small tuft of feathers that re sembles a crest; at least enough to give the bird the distinction of being called a "crested fly catcher." Peculiar Sound Even though you may not recognize the crested flycatcher by sight, you have probably heard, and at the same time been somewhat surprised, by the call it utters. Should you hear him, you might associate the sound with your radio rather than that of a bird. Every one is familiar with the measured beep - beep beep of a time signal, sent out each day from a government station. The call of the crested fly catcher is so near like it you could easily mistake the bird's call for the "correct time." So exact is the call that many peo ple know this bird as the "time signal bird." During the mating season the call becomes a little more musi cal, but even then the bird fre quently lapses into the measur ed cadence of the mechanical time-beat. There are several varieties of flycatchers, distributed pretty generally over all our states, the crested variety being about the largest of the group. These birds are inclined to be quarrel some; they do not get along well with any other species of birds, and not too joyousiy with each other. As a consequence only a single pair will be found in any one locality. They build their nests in aban doned woodpecker cavities. If abandoned tree holes are in short supply, the birds may move to town and construct a nest under the awning of a house, or over the door of garage. The female lays from four to six eggs, each generous ly marked with blotches of brown. The crested flycatcher depends entirely on insects, in sect larva and insect eggs as a steady diet, catching all flying insects while on the wing. Snake Skin Most bird species, like all the rest of us, have peculiarities. But the crested flycatcher has some that defy description, or even common sense. This char acter goes all-out in bizzarre "home furnishings" by install ing, as part of the standard equipment, a snake skin in or very near the nest. Seldom does the snake skin form an actual part of the nest itself, but is hung close to it. It may be hung on a splinter or nail within inches of the nest. or draped over the nest opening. no one seems able to advance a reasonable explanation for this practice, except to suppose it may De a protective measure. But there may be a less obvious reason: The heathen witch doc tor used snake skins as charms. Maybe the crested flycatcher is superstitious and uses a charm to frighten away any evil spirits that may be lurking in tne neighborhood.

Synthetic Diet lest Conducted On Prisoners VACAVILLE, Calif. (UPI) -Nutrition experts working to ward the day when man can thrive on chemicals alone have revealed tro results of experi ments conducted with the as sistance of 18 convicted crim inals. For 48 days, . 18 convicts at the California prison system medical facility here have been subsisting on synthetic diets consisting solely of foods from a test tube, mainly amino acids which act as the body's protein builders. Not only have the men sub sisted. For many, the general physical condition has snowed improvement. Fat men have slimmed down and the thin gained weight.
