SNOW WORMS ATTAIN
GREAT SIZE IN ARCTICi
Few travelers or scientists have
been privileged to see the Alaskan
snow-worm, or the Annelida Frigida
to give its zoologic classification.
Wayne Summers, University of Wash-,
ington freshman, who hails from Ju-;
neau, Alaska, was fortunate enough
to view thesnow-worm at close range!
one winter on Taku Glacier and was,
able -to study the habits of the rare.
creature.
“The snow-worm is very diticult to i
catch ” said Summers. “It is about :
the same size and shape as the aver-;
age icicle and is just about as slip
pery. The white coloring of the worm ;
makes it difficult for hunters to see,
it against the white of the snow field.
However, when there is a great deal;
of sun, the worm becomes sun burn-1
ed and turns pink and is then easi
ly distinguished. But capture is no!
easier.
Delicate—So It’s Tough
“The snow worm is very brittle i
and for this reason cannot be hand
j led roughly by collectors. If the ani
mal is shot it breaks up into many •
, pieces thatwould baffle any taxider
mist. Another thing, it cannot stand |
warmer temperatures even after its
| death. It disintegrates until it looks'
like the remains of a melted isicle.
“This worm is very fond of frost
ing, and hunters often use frosted
i cakes as bait in the trips. Some of!
the hunters have tried to lassoo the i
snow-worm, but because of its slip-:
pery hide and shape, the worm is nev
er captured in that manner.
Summers said that the Annedida.
Frigida, is very timid and will run at
the approach of hunters. Its favor
ite method of escaping from pursu
ers is to burrow in the snow, relying
on its protective coloring to hide itj
from the eyes of the men and dogs.
“Because of its peculiar physical!
make-up the snow-worm does not ap- i
pear in museum collections in this i
• country,” said Summers. “It melts!
as soon as it is put into a showcase
and so far no preservative has been
discovered that will prevent this
melting.’ ’
Eskimos in the interior of Alaska!
consider the snow-worm a great deli- j
cacy, says Summers. They hang the j
worms by the tail to the eaves of their j
igloos until they freeze to death and j
then eat them as children in this j
country eat all-day suckers.
The snow worm varies in size from
six inches to two feet and a half in
length. It is about as big around as
a lead pencil and has a small head.
■ When the weather becomes extremely
cold the snow-worm suffers and its
cries are sometimes heard by trap
pers and natives in the more remote
regions.

FORMER NENANA COMMISSIONER
, SPENDS TIME ANCHORAGE JAIL
ANCHORAGE, Jan. 24.—Charles D.
Leckie, former United States commis
sioner at Nenana, was placed under ar
rest yesterday by acting Deputy Mar
shal Charles Watson on a bench
warrant issued at Fairbanks by Judge
Cecil H. Clegg, and is held in the
federal jail here without bail. The
telegraphic warrant from Fairbanks
said Leckie is in contempt of court.
An officer will be sent from Fair
banks to take him back to the interi
or.
To a representative of the Anchor
age Times, Mr. Leckie said this af
ternoon that his arrest was unjusti
fied, while admitting that he had
“been in trouble” over his accounts
at Nenana for which reason he had
been forced to resign the commission
ership in favor of Miss Clara Heid.
