ABOUT GLACIER WORMS.
For many years it. has been
customary in Alaska, to enter
tain “cheechacos” with stories
of the flora and fauna of t'm
glaciers. As the time passed
and the listeners themselves
graduated into the “sourdough”
class, they in their turn kept
up the good work, although by
that time they imagined the
whole thing to be a fallacy.
Now, a paragraph which ap
pears m the Ladies Home Jour
nal for July goes to prove the
original sourdoughs gave the
newcomers the ‘‘right dope”
on the glacier’s inhabitants.
Here is the paragraph mention
ed;
’’Several species of insect are
commonly found in the ic« and
snow of glaciers. Most of
them belong to the order of
“springtails,” and are so miunte
that they escape the attention
of most passersby. On certain
glaciers millions and million.? of
little worms may be seen during
the summer, wriggling on the
surface of the ice. When the
sun is particularly hot they re
treat to their holes in the ice,
sometimes to a distance of
many feet.”
We are indebted to Mr. Bill
McKay, a sourdough host and
chef of Territorial fame, for
his own personal recipe for the
cooking of these toothsome
dainties:
To Cook Snow Snakes: just
put a kettle of seal oil on a ied
hot griddle; heat so hot that
when you spit in it the spit will
fly to the ceiling: then throw in
the live snakes and cook exactly
seven minntes. Serve with
ice worm salad.
