At Monterey Park, Calf, John Os-

officer, gave townspeople a few un-
easy moments when he rode down the
main street with a five-foot snake
coiled around his neck. Ostoich ex-

Birds Songs Tell Time

Clocks are not necessary to give
the time in the morning if one un-
derstands the songs of the birds,
according to German naturalist
who has just completed a schedule
of offerings by feathered songsters.
He says the chaffinch sings at about
1 80 on summer mornings and the
backcap calls an hour later. Be-
tween 2 80 and 3 o'clock the quail
give their call. while the hedge
sparrows are heard about 80 min
utes later. The blackbirds are
next, followed by larks. the black
headed titmouSe, and finally the
sparrows start between 3 and 80.
