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 自厨房至烟囱的孔道，不断地向上通风，灼热的火被它煽得从成束的易燃柴禾延烧到多面体烟煤堆上。这种煤炭含有原始森林的落叶堆积后凝缩而成的矿物状化石森林之发育生长靠的是热辐射性源-太阳，而热又是由那普遍存在传光并透热的能媒33传导的。
