    Hot snake
    At last firemen have put out a big forest
    fire in California. Since then, they have
    been trying to find out how the fire began.
    Forest fire are often caused by broken
    glass or by cigarette ends which people
    carelessly throw away. Yesterday the fire-
    men examined the ground carefully, but
    were not able to find any broken glass.
    They were also quite sure that a cigarette
    end did not start the fire. This morning,
    however, a fireman accidentally dis-
    covered the cause. He noticed the remains
    of a snake which was wound round the
    electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line.
    In this way, he was able to solve the
    mystery. The explanation was simple but
    very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then
    dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When
    it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.
