WILHELM LONGS TO RENEW FRIENDSHIP
 WITH ENGLISH KIN
xxx AISER TAKES FATHER-LIKE E INTEREST IN EXPLOITS OF
 PRINCE OF WALES

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Wilhelm Hoh- enzollern-the lonely man of Doorn, erswhile Kaiser of the German Empire longs for old friendships and family relations according to reliable infor- nation received here.
 The ex-Kaiser's thouhgts have re- gently turned to his hapoy relatives in England, who in olden days were good friends and the source of manly pleasures.
 King George is first cousin of the ex-Kaiser and there are several oth- CTS closely associated with Bucking- ham palace who are blood relatives of the exiled emperor. In pre-war days the King of England and the German Emperor were more than friendly souvereigns and exchanged visits, tho it is said that the King of Great Brit ain was rather often displeased with the clustering manners of his cousin from Germany. The German Emperor, however, liked England despite his sometimes tactless and outspoken con- tempt for English customs.
 Memories of happy days in the past are rolling by in panorama before the exiled emperor in his lonely Doorne home, and it is understood that he has been overcome with a great ambition to once again be regarded as friend by his relatives in England. He is said to have ambitions to visit Eng land again.
 Through diplomatic friends in Ger many, Holland and England, it is un- derstood, the exKaiser has made over- lures to his British relatives and has intimated that he would like to make peace with the family. There has been no response from England, however, and none is likely. In the first place the British royal family knows too we'll that public opinion would never tolerate any restoration of the old relatins, and moreover, it is said that the royal family regards British pub lie contempt for the former emperor as being more than well-founded.
 There is no chance for forgiveness from the English side of the Channel, no matter how contrite may be the first cousin on the Dutch side of the Channel.

TALES OF OLDTIMERS
 PROVED BY SCIENCE

For many moons outsiders have sneered at the tales of ice worms and snow bugs, told by oldtimers who have had more or less experience with these natural curiosities. And now comes science to prove that not only do ice worms exist but that the ice bug, cross between an ice worm and vermiform appendix are to be found on many glaciers in the in- terior. The ice bug has but two legs and propels itself swiftly across the face of the glaciers by kicking with it's hind feet. It has eyes on the end of long feelers like cutie fish, and suckles it's young, it's breasts standing out between it's ears on top of it's head.
 When calling it's young it emits sound like "'blah-blah," and is strict " nocturnal animal, having a rear coupling like linghtning bug with Ford headlights. The ice bug is not dangerous if it's bite is properly treat ed with spirits frumenti and every old timer goes we'll prepared to com bat this enemy of the prospector. On the Valdez glacier many years ago, after imbibing a quart or so of pre- ventive the writer saw flock of ice bugs but was unable to capture a specimen on account of darkness Ice worms a foot or more in length are to be found in the vicinity of the ice bugs lair, and the ferocious little bug preys on these worms, sucking them from their skin by means of sharp proboscis-ike sucker. Any person visiting a glacier at night may see these skins blowing around on the ice.
 Joe Burns and Mel Horner had specimens which were preserved in alcohol but unfortunately the Vol stead act prevented their being pre- served, the loss to natural history be- ing irreparable.

pail. which loosened the hold Of the
tail downward.
Holding quite taut the rope attached
to the tail. they threw the free ena OF
the rope to tho man in the treA Ae
passed it over the branch and. dropped
1t again. A strong jerk and another
coil was loosened. In short, they IN
! wound the snake, loop after loop. bv
means of the rope, which served. IN
way, as an elongation of his tail
| Another rope, fastened with a slip
moose around him where his body ex-
tended beyond the bag, was pulled
| also to loosen his hold on the branch.
A second man was holding the rope by
] which the net was tied to the upper
1 branch--ready to lower II when the
| time came. II was delicate and most
dangerous work. A pythons con-
stricting power reaches to the Last
| inch of him, and, though half of him
was confined, he could still strike a
terrific blow. When the last coil was
unwound the men held the tail and
body ropes taut and the bag was low
| cred.
While the net was still of the
ground we dealt with the snakes
head. He had managed to force 1t
| through the mesh of the net and was
| Kissing his threats. A python is not
| poisonous, but he can give a nasty
| bite. One of the men took off his
| sarong. This was folded fat and used
| to press the snakes head back into
| the bag Then, pulling and hauling.
| all hands set to work to wrap the
free end of the snake round and round.
| the bag as If it had been spool.
When he had been wound to the,
point where the rope was tied round
his body, that was wrapped with
him-being passed over him, back and
| forth, to hold him more firmly. The
rope on the tip of the tail was also
put round him and the bag for good
| measure.
The whole thing was then attached,
to a pole. Since the great bundle was
fully eight feet long. it was looped up
to the carrying pole at both ends
The python weighed all of two hun
dred pounds He was twenty feet
long. The men had been at the work
of securing him for two hours with
out a break. To keep Malays at work
! for two hours is an art in itself. They
| were pouring sweat I decided that
! they had all better have rest before
we undertook the home stretch
We sat on the ground. I smoking
and the men chewing betel-nut Each
man began telling the others just
what he had thought when he saw the
| bag waving in the air.

He touched his brow in some embar-
