Safety valve For vesuvius-

An Italian scientist proposes to
supply a safety valve for Vesuvius
by boring a tunnel into the base of
the mountain and letting the lava
escape into the sea.
His idea is to bore the tunnel
while the crater is in state of coma
and he believes that when the vol
cano becomes active such a channel
would be sufficient to carry away the
lava.
His whole proposal, however. is
not to let the lava escape altogether,
but to run it into molds and make Il
into blocks for use in the streets
