GONE JUST TWENTY YEARS.
Farmer of Vermont Returns After
Going Ont to Feed the
Chickens.

Abel Patch was soldier in the civil
war and when the war ended he re-
turned 10 his native place, Rutland, Vt.
There he was married a lew years later.
he bought a good farm and with his
wife lived there happily nearly Is
years. h! industry he acquired good
~ amount of property.
Patch took pan of corn al four p. m.
December "a, 1852, and started for tie
poultry house to feed his hens. When
he did not return for supper his wife
hunted all over the place for him, but in
vain. The next day a searching party
was formed by the neighbors and the
forests for miles around we're secured
without finding trace of the missing
man. Alters few days the search was
abandoned. No letter ever came nor
was any inkling of the whereabouts of
Patch ever received.
While Mrs. Patch was preparing
for supper the other evening there was
a rap at the door. She opened thedeor
and an old man with long gray beard
stepped in. There was nothing about
his face or figure that looked familiar
to Mrs. Patch, and when the old man
told her he was Abiel Patch she thought
he was playing prank on her. When
he showed her a peculiar finger ring
which her husband had always worn
and the scar of severe wound on the
side of his head which he received at
Cold Harbor in the civil war there was
no further doubt of his identity.
II left home because l wanted ex-
citement" said Patch, later, in explain
ing his long absence, 81 got tired Of
farming and started out into the
woods. have been all over the forests
of northern Vermont, New Hampshire
and Maine, and have killed hundreds
of deer and moose. Ididn't intend ever
to come back. and hoped my wife
would marry again, but heard little
while ago she hadn't, ! thought |
would see her once more before died.
The winters have been pretty cold late
~ and couldn't stand it much longer
in the woods"
Patch did not think his wife would
welcome him home, but, as she has
done so, he says he will remain.

PROPHECY FULFILLED.
Mere Than Been Realised In the
Electrical World.

The Electrical Review in its last issue
publishes the diary kept by Samuel +.
b. Morse during his earliest work on
the Baltimore and Washington tele-
graph line in the year 1913. The book
was discovered in the library of Thomas
A. Edison, at Orange, y. J. Under
date of August 10, 1913, Mr.. Morse de-
seribes certain tests he had made and
makes the following interesting proph-
ecy:
THE practical inference from this
law is that Geographic communica-
tion on my plan may, with certainty,
be established across the Atlantic.
Startling as this may seem now, the
time will come when this project will
be realized"
Commenting on this prophecy, the
Electrical Review says:
To-day there is no ocean unspanned
by telegraphic cable. We have com
pleted the first Pacific cable and have
made a good start on the second, aud
Marconi has established communiea'
ton across the Atlantic without wires
1t is difficult to realize that this diary
was written less than 80 years ago.
