The chipped white enamel that was on the chair was rubbed with coarse and then with fine sandpaper until smooth. The new scat came next; then flat paint which was allowd to dry 24 hours before applying enamel. Next, the seat cover was made with a straight band around the front and across the back terminating in ties at the back corners. riel V I R MV?

Roman soldiers received it as part of their pay. This was known as salarium, or salt money hence our word salary. Salt has been used as money from Abyssinia to Tibet, and it played an important part in the financial system of the Mogul emperors. Marco Polo commented on salt money in his accounts of his travels. Cleopatra, knowing the preservative qualities of salt, had the body of her Roman lover, Antony, embalmed in it, and ordered that when she died her body should be similarly treated and laid by his side.

It consists in training the falcon, goshawk, and other birds to capture their prey for man, rather than to devour it. In a modern application of falconry, Dan and Jule Mannix, naturalists and explorers, have trained a golden eagle, which they have named Tequila, to hunt and bring back its subdued quarry to them. .
