To/often Ivory. Boil a good handful of fage-Ieaves In thrice
dtftilled vinegar, put in a little quick-lime, and boil the Ivory in
it, and it will grow foft and tough, and will not break without
difficulty, when it is worked in the fineft comb-teeth, or other

To whiten Ivory that is turned yellow. Beat a pound of quick-
lime frnall, and cover the Ivory with it; then gently, and by
degrees, pour vinegar upon it, and fuller it to lie for the fpace of
24 hours; then take it out, and rub it with alum powder, and
it will reftore its firft whitenefs: In the like manner you may
order bones.
JUPITER, is painted with lonrj; curled black hair, clad in a
puiplc robe trimmed with gold, and fitting on a golden throne,
with bright yellow clouds difperfed about him.
Orpheus has defcribad Jupiter with golden locks, with two
golden horns poi ping out of his temples, with bright fhining eyes,
with a lame arid lair b re a ft, and wines on his moulders.
raufanias fays, That in the temple of Minerva, among the Ar-
gives, the ihituc of Jupiter was made with three eyes, two of them
in their right places, and the other in the middle of the forehead.
Plutarch relates, That, in Crete, he was rcprefented wholly
in human ihapc and proportion, but without ears.
- Porphyrius and Suidas reprefented the image of Jupiter, fitting
upon a firm and immoveable" feat; his upper parts naked and un-
cloathed, and his lower parts covered and inverted ; holding in
his right hand a great eagle, joined with the figure of Victoria,
and in his left hand a fcepter.
This image was creeled in Piraeus, a ftately and magnificent
gate of Athens.
Martianus reprefents him with a regal crown, adorned with
the molt precious and glittering ftones, having over his fhoulders
a thin white veil, made bv Pallas's own hands, in which were
inferted divers fmSfi pieces of glafs, representing the mofl refplen-
dent liars : In hts right hand he holds two balls; the one all gold,
the othcr'half gold, half filver ; in the other hand an ivory harp
with nine firings ; fitting on a foot-cloth, wrought with ftrange
works and peacocks feathers; and near his fide lies a trident all
gold imbolied mafs.
1 . i :' the Eleans, a people of Greece, the ftatue of Jove was
compacted of gold and ivorv, impaled with a coronet of olive
leaves ; holding in his right hand the image of Victoria; in his
left a fcepter, on the top of which was the portraiture of an eagle
upon a feat of gold, inchafed with the forms of many unknown
birds and fifties, upheld and fupported by four images of Vicioria,
In Caria, a place of the lefier Alia, the ilatue of Jupiter was
made, holding in one of his hands a pole-axe.
