THE NEW BISHOP or SHETLAND,
From q Correspondent

The Government have not been long in So
lectlng a successor to Bishop Skat Rdrdam IN
the principal SEQ Of their country. They
have chosen Dir. Pedor MLad4en, Professor Of
Do8matlc Theology in the University of Co.
pehaagen. DR. Madison is a man Of s~iXty-six
Who has held his ProIo5sorshjp for more than
bali has lifetime. Born in 1913, he was M
pointed Professor in 1875. A whole gener-
alton Of the clergy Of Denmark have passed
under hls instruction, and hundreds Of them
nave found IN him a kind and generous
trend. A man Of great wealth, he has al
ways been unsparing in his Iberality towards
students IN need and towards all good causes.
Few men are 50 intimately acquainted with
the working OF the Church Of Denmark. His
personal sympathies are mainly with the
lndre Mission, representing what would be
called among ourselves the Evangelical side
OF things But he Is no narrow partisan.
He stands among his countrymen for a
type Of old-fashioned Lutheran.sm. and as an
opponent of the "subjoctive' school Of thooI-
o8lNns who base their systems wholly upon
Christian experience, His lectures upon
Dogmat1c Theology are Iikeued by those who
have heard them to the work of men like
Ihomasius. AS an author he has scarcely
done as much as might have been expected
of hum. He has written a commentary on
the Apocalypse, ana Il short and interesting
treatise on the priesthood Of the laity (de
hr1St2es 0dnde5ige ProsStedonlnie).

SUGAR PINES GIANT CONES.

The largest cones borne by any
trees in the world are those of the
sugar pine in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains These cones range from 10 to
25 inches in length, with n diameter,
when green, of three or three and
half inches. They ripen In the au.
tumn OF the second season after the
blossom, and the scales then spread
60 permit the seeds to fall. This
spreading of the scales fully doubles
the diameter of the cones, making
them great brown pendants, averaging
more than foot and a half I'm length
and six inches In diameter. They re-
main upon the trees for another year.

Forests. not under government con
trol as national forests, have been sad

In curious contrast to the great pen
dants borne by the sugar pines are
the dlminutive cones of the giant Sc
Quoias-the greatest trees In all the
world. These cones are rarely more
than two and a half inches long and
about one inch In diameter, consisting
of 80 or 40 rhomboidal scales. with
from four TO eight seeds at the base
of each. The sugar pines grow abun-
dainty In every region of the Sierras
where the sequoias are found; and
among the worlds coniferous trees
the sugar pines are second only to the
sequoias Trees of this species com
monty attain height of from 200 to
22O feet. with n diameter of six or
eight feet at the height of man

feet In diameter and 240 or $50 feet

tree was discovered by David Doug
lass in the fall of 1926. In southCvn
Oregon. The sequoias had not yet
been found. and for number of
years the sugar pine was believed to
be the king of all forest growths. The
trunk tapers gradually toward the top,
sheathed in n purple-brown bark, free
from limbs for fully half It's height.

Diamonds at Little Rock
Mlnerallst Makes Discovery OF Perl
dotlte Near the River West
OF City Hall.

Little Rock, Ark.-There may be a
diamond field under the city of Little
Rock, If the speculations of ]. F.
Whitlock, mineralist, have worth.
He claims to have discovered perl
dotite, an igneous rock formation
that is the native bed in which dia-
monds are found, on the bank OF the
Arkansas river, within the limits OF
this city. The rock is said to be of
the same nature as that in Pike coun'
ty and in South Africa, from which
diamonds have been taken.
II was Mr. Whitlock's yacht. which
lies anchored In the river just west
of the city hall, that led him to this
discovery. The present low stage OF
the Arkansas river has exposed por-
tions of the bank that have not been
out of the water before for years.
While on his yacht Mr.. Whitlock's
attention was attracted by fragments
of a peculiar looking rock which was
found in considerable quantities on
the bank near the waters edge. He
gathered up several specimens, ex-
amined them closely and then carried
them to Commissioner fuckers office
and compared them with specimen
from the South African and Pike dia-
mond fields. Both he and Commis-
sioner Tucker are confident that the
olive-green rock is peridotite.
In practically every we'll that is
dug in Little Rock, iron ore contain
ing mica is found" says Mr.. Whitlock.
This goes to indicate that the rock
underneath the city was formed by
volcanic action. Now, 1t is a we'll
known fact that peridotite is formed
by volcanic action. Hence the fact
that this rock has been found gives
every reason to believe that there is
vast bed of peridotite uhder the
city. This might or might not contain
diamonds. Large quantities Of peri.
