Imagine a real volcano in miniature; the imposing bulk of Vesuvius humiliated to the pygmy size of a pile of moles; reduce the crater to the capacity of a very mediocre funnel; the lakes of boiling lava, from which the volcanoes of Java are famous, are not a few tablespoons of salty mud, and the formidable eruptions become the release at intervals of some gallops of carburized hydrogen gas that throw some mud pills into the air: and here is represented live a sauce, or rather one of the eruptive cones that group together with a sauce.
