The Wines of Ancient Times.
lCleveland Leader.

The celebrated ancient wines seem
rather to have been syrups or extracts
than wines. They were undoubtedly sweet
and little fermented and Chaptal, in his
Elements of Chemistry, declares it to
be impossible to suppose that they could
have obtained any spirit, .or possessed. in
consequence, any especially intoxicating
properties. The wines so valued by the
Greeks and Romans contained much sac.
charine matter and little alcohol Arts.
totle says the wines of Arcadia were so
thick, either by boiling or by adulteration
that they dried up in the goat.skins, and
the people would scrape the dried mater
ial off and dissolve 1t in water. The thick
and fat wines of Chios, Thasos Lesbos, and
Crete were probably of this character
The pitched and picked wines are
doubtless the wines the Romans kept TO
such extraordinary age Horace boasts of
drinking some seventy years old, and one
kind is said to have been kept in Rome
more than 100 years. The celebrated
Opimian wines, which took the name of
the consul who lived when they were first
made. are spoken of by Pliny as having
been preserved until his time. nearly 2OO
years. and so. excellent were they that
money could not buy them.

that season, therefore, the swift spends
nearly eighteen hours upon the wing, and
it has been computed that at the ordinary
rate of travelling of this very fast bird it
would circumnavigate the globe in
about fourteen days At a
push, if it were making forced flights,
the swift would probably keep on the
wing, with very brief intervals of rest
during fourteen days. The speed of the
whole tribe is marvellous, and seems the
more so when compared with that of the

progressive powers on legs. however
