When, however. these hot pockets force a

degrees Fahrenheit to approximately 600 de-
grees, and after they find it cut they can
determine how to prevent 1t, they bid fair to
save this country an annual fire loss Of at least
$4,000, 900, and perhaps q goodly portion Of
the 5000, 100000 that is put down under the
heading Of unknown causes.
The whole question Of spontaneous conbus-
ton Is being studied by the Department Of
Agriculture experts, for it Is within their field
that most of the loss from this cause Is SUI
fered.
When hay is piled sufficiently high, and this
holds true for other products as well, to assure
retention Of heat and insulation the stage IS set
for IRE from natural causes. The preliminary
action is due to the presence Of bacteria and
engines the latter catalitic agents which
bring about chemical action without being
changed IN any way during the process. The
bacteria and engines break down the earbohy-
drates in the hay through fermentation.
The process starts the temperature Of the
pile rising and brings it well on the way toward
$50 degrees. At this point, however, the fer
mentat1ou action Is halted. The problem Is 70
