Fanned by a constant updraught of ventilation between the kitchen and the chimneyflue , ignition was communicated from the faggots of precombustible fuel to polyhedral masses of bituminous coal , containing in compressed mineral form the foliated fossilised decidua of primeval forests which had in turn derived their vegetative existence from the sun , primal source of heat radiant , transmitted through omnipresent luminiferous diathermanous ether 自廚房至煙囪的孔道,不斷地向上通風,灼熱的火被它煽得從成束的易燃柴禾延燒到多面體煙煤堆上。這種煤炭含有原始森林的落葉堆積后凝縮而成的礦物狀化石森林之發育生長靠的是熱輻射性源-太陽,而熱又是由那普遍存在傳光并透熱的能媒33傳導的。
