Boston Boy of Five a Prodigy.

Boston Dispatch to the New York Times.
 Barley years of age and a complete master of his primer after only three weeks schooling Is the record of a Mas sachusetts boy. He is Master Gordon F. Parent of Bondville. who entered the primary school in September.
 It is said by older children who attend the school that Gordon was all attention from the first day. He watched the teacher closely and hardly word of hers escaped his ears. After the first week he began to read words in advertising signs on his way home from school. and his mother to humor him bought him a reader The first night he got the reader he read three pages in a few minutes be- fore he was put to bed. In the morning he was ct 1t again. and the whole book was read by him in a day or two.
 Not only does he continue to read in the books which have been purchased for him by his parents. but he has taken up figuring. Playing cards Is one of his favorite pastimes. and through the game of Old Maid, which he picked up from seeing older people play, he learned to count as well as a child of 10.

From the St. Louis Dispatch.
 One morning many years ago the people of Winslow, Ariz, then wild place in the desert road, now a town of some importance, saw a cloud Of rust rising on the horizon, and present. ly a hard d-riding little band of United States soldiers stopped at the village long enough to water their horses and feed them from bags tied at their noses Then, after eating a bite as they stood by the sides of the animals. which had been neither tied nor un- saddled, they mounted and disappeared across the sun baked land to the south west.
 Accompanying the soldiers, tired. dirty, covered with the desert sand and burned by the desert sun, was bss man in civilian clothes, who rode 10 the forefront with the officer in charge and seemed s eager as any or the fighters to face the prlvations ahead. The little cavalry troop was out in quest of Apaches, who had broken from their reservation and were murdering, burning and ging--on one of those furious rampages which made the name of the Apaches a symbol of dread along the border. The un-browned civilian was Frederick Remington. the artist who died the other day, and he was Tn quest of material for future use. It was such experiences as this which laid the foundation for Remington $ later success and made him famous as the most capable portrayer of the life of the old west He knew at first hand the country and the people-and the animals-he depicted, and many are the stirring tales told of his adventures in search of this information. He lived the~life of the cowboy, the plainsman. the hunter and the Indian fighter ana
 when he put his pen to paper ne are" his pictures from life he knew as we'll as any living man--and better than any artist.
 Upon Remin gton's first trip west. aft CT ending hs studies at Yale, he land ed at Peabody, Kan., Rob Camp oi Milwaukee, Wis, a chum of Reming toms at Yale had gone to Peabody pe- 1 fore Remington and It was his presence | that drew the artist.

 was particularly true when the newcomer was college chap" as was Hemins' l ton, and for that reason one iocaiiy ac. | until he proved
 himself with other credentials.
 Remington had been at Camps ranch about three days. according to the recol'
 lection of oldtimers at Peabody, wher

pummel him, only to be met with a knockdown blow.
 Time and again Remington knocked the bully down, then would calmly wait for his antagonist to get up and make an- other rush. This impressed the crowd with the big artists fairness and won them over to him. When the battle ended with the bully thoroughly whipped, both the newcomer and the little man he had rescued were received into the guild of good fellows and were tenderfeet no longer"
 From then on everybody at Peabody and in the surrounding country, including the big fellow the artist had whipped was Remington's friend. He was an ex- pert boxer and on Saturdays would ride in from Camps ranch and give the boys lessons with gloves.
 His stay with Camp was prolonged for year or two, Remington riding with the men after the cattle and mixing with them in their camps, picking up informa- ton about the life of the cowboy as he really lives It.
 Innumerable stories have been told of Remington in camp and on the trail. with scenes laid from Russia, where. with Poultney Bigelow. he fell under the dis pleasure of the Czar and was expelled from the country, to Cuba, where he went long before the Spanish-American war and stayed to join the fighting when the Amercan troops landed. but the incident Of his breaking in as tenderfoot has prob- ably never before been put in print.

 His fright was occasioned by the atti- tude of the other of the two men in the ring. A huge westerner, typical bad man" was he, and he was threatening the smaller man with all sorts of dire punish ment and, advancing on him, apparently ready to carry his threats into execution. A pioneer merchant of Peabody, who wit messed the incident, describes what fol- lowed:
 Pennington laid his hand on the little man, who was scared white, and said:
 How long have you been here?
 CT just got off the train stammered the little man, evidently suspectng Rem ington as another tormentor.
 ".Any friends here?' snapped Remins- ton.
 None answered the little man.
 "'Well, you have got one now, replied Remington, and turning to the big fellow he said
 "'Now, I'll settle this little mans troubles Clear your decks for action ''IIe then proceeded to administer a good thrashing to the bully. He did 1t in the most approved fashion, too for repeatedly the big fellow would make a rush at Remington in the rough-and-tumble style, in which he was accustomed to do his fighting in order to get man down and

TO BUILD A|RSHIP FOR FRENCH ARMY Designed Such a Craft Forty
 Years Ago RING 32OO YEARS OLD Investigating Acquisition of Guimct Museum-Trinket Was Worn By
 Wife of Rameses II-Au-
 dacious Robbery.
BY GEORGE DUFREsNE.

Paris, January 22.-(Special. At the time of the Aeronautic Salon last Sep tember, the model of the Spiess diri- gible balloon was mentioned as it at tracted some attention among the many other curious exhibits. NJ. Spiess has now offered to construct a rigid steerable balloon of this kind for the French government, which seems disposed to accept the offer. It is another instance of the great dif- fculty with which a really practical idea can make it's way when the world is not prepared for it.
 Spiess, who is a native of Strasburg, had conceived perfectly rigid air ship 40 years ago. and consequently long before Count Zeppelin's invention.
 His conception, moreover, was not merely fanciful one. with vague or crude indica tions. such as were often propounded in the drawings of those preserved. He drew up a design, which entered fully into every detail, ana gave the measurements of the airship, which was to consist of q rigid frame of light wood or metal, covered with impermeable canvas or cloth. and made up in the interior of a number of sec tional balloons adapted to the ascen- siona1 force required. The car under meath was to form part of the frame, and to be capable of carrying a num- Der of passengers. The propellers were to be in pairs on each side, and the only thing to make 1t complete were the explosion motors. which at that time had not been invented, and which were to be replaced by a light ordinary pattern.
 In 1873 M. Spiess submitted the draw ings to the patent office, and took out a patent. He then submitted his de- sign to the war office, but, needless to say, the excellent chiefs of the de- partment in those days did not deem it worth tn cir while to notice his plans. The specified ations were carefully shelved. and the dust of 30 years has been gathering on them Now every body Is astonished to find them so up- to-date. The shape of the airship is little more pointed in front. and the interior of the rigid frame is filled by six separate balloons Their combined capacity Is about 1000 cubic yards.

The Guimet museum in Paris has just made an interesting acquisition. This is a ring which belonged to .he wife of Ra- meses II, a monarch of the ninteenth dynasty, who flourished about 1300 years before our era, so that 1t is something like s2oO years old. There appears to be no doubt regarding the authenticity Of this relic of ancient Egypt.
 The rings in the famous jewelry shops of the Rue de la Paix are perhaps more striking to the eye than the ring of Ra- nleses, which is made simply of coraline. a stone nowadays ilsed rather for mak- ing stick handles. cuff links. etc. but NJ. Guimet is very proud of his new &C., duisition. He obtained it from the en- virons of Grenoble. from d family in whose possession it had been for very
 long time and who were able to satisfy him of ifs gen lineness.
 The ring is thick, with a wide, fiat,
 rectangular bezel covered with gold,
 while a thread of the same metal en
 circles the outside in 0 groove There ari
 two names engraved in hieroglyphic char
 acters on the bezel. These are the names
 of Rameses and one of his wives, Ous-
 ermara Setepara and Nefritarimaria Mout
 In addition to the characteristic shape of the ring, the perfection of the en- &TdFlnR 1E, III ltie eyes Ol lIe Iiupcuti authorities, indisputable evidence of the
 authenticity of the relic.
