Around Us

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. Also, research
ers say, there have been few
gripes and none of the prison
ers said he regretted taking
part in the experiment.
For Space Program I
One aim of the synthetic diet
project is to develop suitable
food for man-in-space pro
grams. The project is financed
by a National Aeronautics and
Space Administration grant of
$400,000.
Dr. Milton Winilz, director of
the project being conducted by
the Medical Science. Research
Foundation, said (he synthetic
food would he wholly adequate
for feeding men on round trips
to the moon.
"But," he said, "(he diet's
chief virtues are not in space
fliqht but in medicine."
He said te synthetic food
substances could wipe out all
diseases brought on by malnu
trition or by protein deficien
cies. Also, he said, users of the
food could not develop aller
gies. It could be used for feed-
