LOST DURING WORLD TOUR

London, June 37. The Bishop of London is deeply distressed at losing an episcopal ring during his world lour. He only discovered his loss on J unpacking his trunks in London, and tried to remember when last he had worn it. He thought Colombo the most likely place, and cabled the Bishop of Colombo requesting him to institute a search. If not found there he continues to hope it may be found elsewhere. He points out that he highly prized the ring because it was presented to him when he was first made a bishop. A VALUABLE RING. London, June 18. Wlho in Australia has the Bishop of London's episcopal ring which, it has just been revealed, was lost on his recent world tour. His private secretary says the Bishop dofrs not remember when the ring was last worn, because it was only used on ceremonial occasions. The idea is that it may have been lost between Australia and Colombo. When the Bishop’s belongings were unpacked he was distressed to discover it was missing from the regalia. A search instituted by the Bishop at Colombo was fruitless. The ring is invaluable from a sentimental viewpoint, while its intrinsic value is considerable.
