In those days a Roman Senator could not live on less than $80,000 per year, and Marcus Antonius, who owed $1,500,000 on his inaugural, March 15, paid it up March 17, and afterwards cleared $720,000,000. This he did by the strictest economy, which he managed to have attended to by the peasantry. Even a literary man in Rome could amass property, and Seneca died worth $12,000,000.

Only 43,200 seconds 720 minutes or 12 hours, and once again we would view the fairest continent planted by God in the seas. Rottenest Island, outside Fremantle, is sandy and barren and really not much to boast about, yet had you spread before us a scene from the Garden of Eden it had not charmed us half so much. For this was part of Australia, the land that we all called home.
Its entire weight is 720 tons. The space between the block and the sides of the masonry in which it rests is filled in solidly with oak. The block is thus independent of the frame of the superstructure. The legs of the frame, inclining toward each other in the form of an A, are secured at their bases to a foundation plate embedded in the masonry.
