Excerpt from The Catholic Temperance Reader
Have you ever watched a steam engine, such as the engine of a train, and Observed how the stoker fre quently puts something into the furnace? Why does he do this? It is to keep up the fire; for if the fire were not kept up there would be no steam, and without steam the engine would not work, and the train would not move. What is it that the stoker puts into the fire It is fuel - something that can be burnt.
This fuel is generally some kind of coal. Not everything that can be burnt would do. Some fuel would not burn quickly enough, some would give out too much smoke, some might explode inside the furnace, and so cause an injury; other kinds of fuel, though they might not cause an explosion, yet might still be dangerous, because they might put some parts of the machinery out of order. Therefore the stoker must be careful to put proper fuel into the engine.
