This is southward. We passed through a broad, nearly flat plain, which is locally more or less sandy. Nearer Budapest it is very sandy, and there are many vineyards. About 13 yrs. ago the [[underlined]] Phylloxera [[/underlined]] destroyed the vineyards on the hills, and the wine-growers came to these sandy plains. Southward there is richer soil, and the country had been long cultivated. It much resembles [[end page]] [[start page]] 83 our Wisconsin or Iowan prairies, even to the scattered groves and fields. It looks much like Northern Iowa, but there is little corn, wheat being the chief crop, with some oats. The wheat harvest is now well on. This plain runs to the Danube and the latter flows along the loess bluffs which rise to the west. Occasionally on this plain there is also a poorly drained tract. Here and there sandy hummocks also appear on the richer plain. About half way down to Kunsenfmiklos salty spots begin to appear in undrained places.

The water of the Danube is yellowish with a bluish cast. Flags, red above, white below, appear along the river. Loess banks appear at edge of plateau at Königsbrunn; Unterstockostall.

The banks are N of RR. The Viennese speak a broad dialect, Sógst, Etivó There are also low banks at Hadersdorf, - good. The hills along here are all terraced and loess, exposed in vertical cuts, - stands well. There are some terraces at Gedersdorf. At Rohrensdorf it is fine, and the terraces are nearby. They run all along the bluffs here. In places rock ledges project out above the loess terraces. The hills towards Krems are lower and farther back, but still terraced. The terraces evidently stand well. The immediate vicinity of Krems is not so good. [[end page]] [[start page]] 111 Beyond Krems the terraces are walled with rock, the slopes being rocky. Grapes are raised everywhere on these terraces. Beyond Unterloiben there are ruins of an old castle and walls on point of rock. It is said to be Richard Coeur de Lions castle. It is just at Durnstein-Oberloiben. The part of the river above Krems is narrow, and the country is rough and picturesque. Below Krems the valley is much broader.

The train was crowded, so we secured a 2nd class place by tipping the conductor. We had a comfortable ride all the way, but had to repeat tip (to another conductor) beyond Cmunt (= Gmünd). We caught sight of Sumava from near Borovany. At Borovany there is a "hostinec" near the track, named "U Jana Žižky z Trocnova". Troenov is west of the track. The country here is rolling, with much timber and many fish ponds. Both indicate poor soil and the holding of large areas by a [[end page]] [[start page]] 115 few individuals.

A good view of Šumava is obtained from Vodany... At Protivin there was much washing out on the grass. The women wash in the stream. Toward Ražice there is a rolling plain.

The day is fine. At Pardubice, on the north side, I could see Kuntická hora, rising out of plain. The whole country traversed is comparatively flat, and nearly all under cultivation. It is harvest time and quite a bit of machinery is in use. Along the Labe swamps and "kyselky" appear, much as in part which we visited At Choce the country begins to be a little rougher, or rather simply more rolling, at at once more forests appear. [[end page]] [[start page]] [[insert- upper right hand corner]] 147 [[/insert]] This already begins at the second station west of Choce, and the farther we go the more woods appear, especially on the north side. Just at edge of town east of Choce there are some rocky ledges, and beyond these quarries appear. The quarries are fine. The country east grows quite rough. Flowers appear in windows and on "shelves" everywhere along the line. There are many rocky ledges. Beyond Brandy's road Orlici it is quite rough, with steep wooded slopes. The forest is mostly spruce, and some deciduous trees appear. As Ústi nad Orlici there are rocky bluffs and wooded hills. Then, beyond town to north it is less rough and more cultivated.

Westward [[insert]] ^ on road to Policka [[/insert]] there is a nice territory, well-cultivated, not so rough, with less woods. Then it becomes somewhat rougher again, then less rough, and so varies. There is much Scotch Pine here. The country from Svitava to Polika is gently rolling on the whole, with some rougher parts. The first part, to Horní Vendolí, is German, and the notices, etc., are wholly German, or German stands first, the conductor calls German name of station first. At Kvtná also German first. [[end page]] [[start page]] [[insert- top right corner of page]] 149 [[/insert]] At Polika everything is Bohemian. "Polika", only appears at station. I started out from Borová, out of Polika, a foot, following the road which winds through the long line of villages, which is about continuous from Borová, for a distance of "5 hours". The houses string along, and [[insert]] ^ sign [[/insert]] boards announce the limits of the villages, otherwise they are continuous, including and going beyond Polika. At Odíš, just below Borová, I saw the "hostinec" [[insert]] ^ [[strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] reznictor" [[/insert]] of Eduard Filipi (an older sign reads "Filippi".

The Protestants used to bury their dead at night in the forest. One of the Kossatks is said to have been pastor of the Protestant church. I left Borova at 5.06 p.m. The country around Borowa is rolling, but not rough, and mostly under cultivation. The line of villages and the RR. are nearly parallel to Policka. This entire region is beautiful, rich and fertile. There is much stock. On the train were traders who were going out with a number of large baskets to buy up fruit and vegetables. [[end page]] [[start page]]153 At Svitava I saw two women with flat packs on their backs-in a sheet which passed over the shoulders and was tied under the chin, on the chest. I went to Cistiuad Orlice and put up at the Hotel Frimel, where I had supper and room 2. The region about Cisti is rough, the town lying in a valley bordered by high hills with steep, mostly heavily wooded slopes. There are also rocky ledges here. The location is picturesque, and the place seems to be quite a summer resort.

Mr. Antonin Bedná, starosta, komerin rada, tovarnik, is also [[end page]] [[start page]] 167 related through the Kubiás',--distantly. I bought cards and pictures of Vamberk,--one with father's old home as it appeared, and also tried to buy a tripod, but the screw did not fit. It was sent to a machinist who bungled it so that I could not use it, and I had to leave it. We had hired a team to take us to astolovice, but the delay made the trip impossible (and a heavy storm brewing made it undesirable), and the trip was given up. I then took photos 8, 7, 30 (and old cottage at end of row in which father's house stood, --and like it), 27, and 4.

Paul and Bertha went on to Prague, and I stopped off at astolovice at a little after 5 P.M. Vamberk, I am told, has changed much because of industrial development. It is famous for its lace work, and is to celebrate The anniversary of [[blank]] the lady who started the industry [[end page]] [[start page]] 169 astolovice has changed less. A quaint old street, with the low-numbered houses, hence evidently old,,- leads from the depot to the business part of the town. This is Rieger street. Kominský street leads up the hill to the left from it, to the old church on the hill, - kostel Sv. Vita, - built in 1775. My grandparents (father's parents) were married in this church, and father was baptized in it. Took photos 1 & 28 of the church, and 2 of Rieger street, which runs nearly parallel to the RR. east of station. I looked up no. 92, where father was born.

The daughter is an only child, and intends to enter the University. The father is in business. She wishes to go to America, but the parents object for business and family reasons. She is a fine intelligent girl, and it would be a pity to throw her away to some man under the present social conditions.

When we parted with the Silas the daughter cried. She wants so much to go to America, but the parents object.

[[end page]] [[start page]] 175 [[underlined]] July 17, 1914 [[/underlined]] - [[underlined]] Friday [[/underlined]]. I spent the forenoon at my room, and with prof. Nému and Mr Mrázek, while Bertha and Paul went out. We took dinner (Bertha & I) at the Mštánská Beseda, and I attended to banking. It rained much of the time. The Bank paid me 241 K. for 10 £, and for an additional 5 £, 120.50 K, a total of 361.50 K for 15 £. We went to Hradany and made the rounds of the church and the main halls, and Belvedere. We spend the evening, on the return, at the "Slavia" restaurant near opposite the Národui Didvadlo, where Dr. Peklo joined us. He was quite Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives jolly, and appeared to be ready for any sort of a lark. He and Paul have struck up quite a comradeship. After spending a pleasant social evening, we started for home. On the way Dr. Peklo suggested that we visit "Fleks", - the chief drinking place of Prague. We merely walked through; that was enough! The place is roomy, with all sorts of branches and corners. The tables are crowded in, & every space is occupied. The cielings are low, and the air heavy with smoke and bad breath. And here these people, - men and women, came to sit by the hour! Usually a particular company selects a particular evening and table. After a certain hour (11 P.M.?) no more orders are taken for beer, but the guests order as many glasses as they wish before that hour. We went home! [[end page]] [[start page]] 177 [[underlined]] July 18, 1914, Saturday. [[/underlined]] We packed early for our trip into Germany and Switzerland. I saw Mr. Mrázek about developing negatives after I get back, and visited with Dr. Domin, who gave me further assurance that the matter of my Ph.D. (honorary) will progress satisfactorily. We took our grips and went up town. We had dinner at a resturant near the depot, and left at 2.56 P.M. for Dresden. Paul was stopped at the depot, as he was about to board the train, by a policeman who tried to arrest him. Probably Paul's complexion and appearance suggested a Serb, - or the officer was on the wrong scent. He reluctantly released him in time for the train. Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives We travelled again over the familiar route to Podmokli, but the whole region had changed. When I came in the spring everything was just starting, - now the harvest is on, the hop-vines are greatly developed and form a conspicuous part of the plant covering, - much of the fruit, then is flower, has been picked, and there are many suggestions of the approach of autumn. It was quite misty, and later rained some, so that the view was not always good. We noted particularly the old ruined castle of Strkov just before we reached Ústi. Ústi itself is [[end page]] [[start page]] 179 fine, with picturesque scenery, an old church, nearby ruins of old castles, etc. It is worthy of another visit. We reached Dresden at 6.50 P.M. and put up at the Seidel Pension, Lüttichan Strasse, no. 30, not far from the depot. We saw a Zeppelin airship circling about over the city, - a great lumbering thing with a lot of room for passengers. We took a walk to the Terrace along the Elbe, - as indicated on map of Dresden. We passed Luther's monument, and that of Albert, King of Saxony. We passed the Market Building which has a great painting on outer walls showing succession of rulers (?). In the vicinity of the statute of King Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives Albert are located the Art Museum, Albertinum (also art; - largely statuary). Across the river we can see the government buildings. Saw the Zeppelin again. A violent storm is brewing, and we hurried back. It commenced to rain, and we retired to a restaurant for supper. Here we had a little difficulty because the waiter brought only two suppers for three people, and claimed that was all that we ordered. On the way to our rooms we stopped at a shop to buy postcards, but as it was after 9 P.M. we had to stand on the street in the rain because is was against the rules to keep open after 9 o'clock. Finally reached our rooms and I went to bed early. [[end page]] [[start page]] 181 [[underlined]] July 19, 1914 [[underlined]], [[underlined]] Sunday [[/underlined]] We took a morning walk through the park to the Zoological and Botanical gardens, and then went to the Art Gallery, where we spent some time in examining the great collection of paintings, - many of them said to have been secured by theft and robbery in conquest. The gallery contains the world's most famous painting - Rafaels Sixtine Madonna and Child. Before this painting we met Dr. Heard and two ladies from the University. There are many English speaking people in the crowd. The gallery is large, with many rooms, and is described in the guide which I secured. Bertha was taken sick and went Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives to her room. Paul and I took dinner at the Liebig Restaurant (Bavarian), where I forgot my camera, and had to return for is from the Pension. These Saxons are more congenial and less overbearing than the Prussians. We went to the depot, and had to wait for the Berlin train until 4.26 P.M. I sent out postal cards from the station. The trip to Berlin was very ordinary. The fields are ripe and everywhere the harvest is on. We reached Berlin at 6.51 P.M. and put up at "Hospiz -Pension und Hotel Stadt. Dresden", of J. Uhling, Berlin SW. 11., Hedemannstr. 5. We took a walk along Friedrichstrasse and Unter den Linden in the evening. [[end page]] [[start page]] 183 [[underlined]] July 20, 1914, Monday [[/underlined]] Bertha and I went to Unter den Linden (Paul was with us a part of the time) to take photographs. We learned that photography in the streets was not permitted except by permission of the police dept, but on inquiry found found that its only purpose was to prevent blocking of busy streets. The police both on Unter den Linden and Sieges Allec permitted us to take photos if we kept off the busy lines of traffic. We walked towards the Royal Palace and I took photos 5, 6, 7, - all Reich's Vienna plates. We then walked to the Sieges Allee and took photos 8, 28, 1, 2 and 27. Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives Photo 28 is of special interest. It shows the row of statues on the west side of Sieges Allee. The first in the picture is that of Frederick II, 1440 1470, the next that of Frederick I, 1415 - 1440, the third that of Kaiser Sigmund, 1378 - 1397 and 1411 - 1415, and the fourth that of Kaiser Karl IV (our Karel Velký), 137-78. The line of statues begins at the north end on the west side, near the Column of Victory, with Albrect der Baer, 1100 - 1170, who holds a cross aloft, and has the busts of two bishops behind him. The line then runs chronologically to the south, Frederick II being at the south end of the lines. Hence [[end page]] [[start page]] 185 the line runs north on the East side, and ends with Emperor Wilhelm der Grosse I, with the busts of Bismarck and von Moltke, just opposite Albrecht der Baer. After dinner we went to Dahlem by rail. Bertha & Paul went to the Pharmacological Institute, and I to the Botanical Garden. [[underlined]] Dahlem Botanical Garden [[/underlined]] These gardens were developed under the encouragement of Emperor Wilhelm, who wished to excell the Kew Gardens. Neither he, nor the botanists, seemed to consider, however, that the sandy region about Berlin is very unfavourable to an all-round garden. Special conditions, such as soil-beds, rock heaps, etc., were created artificially at great Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives expense, but even this does not overcome the handicap. I called at the homes of Dr. (Geheimrat) Engler and Dr. Diels, but neither of them at home. I then strolled about the garden and made miscellaneous observations. The plant houses have blinds of slats, wired together, which can be drawn up on rollers. The walls of the plant houses are of brick, and have ventilating windows in lower part. In the houses with upright walls canvass curtains are used. [[image - pen drawing of tall house]] Section of a tall house, - the central part for palms, etc. [[end page]] [[start page]] 187 The surface of the grounds is quite irregular, - partly original, but largely artificially created. An interesting feature of the gardens is the development of beds for special studies. A more detailed grouping is shown in the description of the gardens (printed), but I particularly noted the following: - A bed demonstrating geotropism, Heliotropism, Anisotropism, etc. The latter, for example, under a box-like cover, open at ends. - A bed showing change in position of leaves, day and night. Here are [[underlined]] Oxalis Deppei [[/underlined]], [[underlined]] Chenopodium album [[/underlined]], [[underlined]] Stellaria media [[/underlined]], [[underlined]] Trifolium rubens [[/underlined]], etc. - A bed showing abnormal green "flowers", etc. Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives - A series of beds illustrating various types of pollination, as: flowers with exposed [[nectaries?]], flowers with concealed nectaries, hetermophis dimosphic flowers, etc. This is a fine feature of the garden. I went out and took [[underlined]] photo 27 (?) [[/underlined]], "Unter den Aichen", the street in front of the gardens. This has a row of nice oaks on each side, and the street railway runs in the curb-parking on the sides, - not on the paved street. It is a fine avenue. I returned to the garden and found that Paul and Bertha had come in. We walked about the gardens, giving special attention to the ecological part, which seems [[end page]] [[start page]] 189 to be wholly an effort to show plant geography by groups of representative plants. The pile of limestone, lava, granite, rocks, etc., sometimes with trickling water, and sometimes dry, furnish a variety of conditions, and special rail beds furnish still other variety. The pile of rock showing the Caucasus flora is fine. An Australian section is also noteworthy. The earth and rock in some cases had to be hauled from great distances. Sixty men are now required to care for the garden. This has been cut from 100, formerly employed. In many cases they temper the light in the plant houses by a streak Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives of white lead (or white wash?) on each pane, thus: [[image - pen sketch of window pane with paint applied.]] [[image label]] Paint [[/image label]] The gate-keeper told me that Dr. Engler was expected to take out a class (into the garden) at 6.45 PM I waited, but was told that he observed the "akademische viertel", and would be late. However, he came into the [[insertion]] garden by a [[/insertion]] private entrance from his villa, and disappeared in the mazes of the garden with his class. As it was late I could not take the time to hunt him up. We returned to Berlin, and after supper called on Dr. & Mrs. Geo Shull.

I went to the Botanical Building next to the garden and found Dr. Diels. He is a very genial, lively energetic man, and treated me with great courtesy. We had a lengthy conversation concerning ecological matters. He suggested that at Halle there are still remnants of steppes. Also bits of sand-steppes near Mainz and Bingen. He loaned me a military map, and an ecological map, of the vicinity of Mainz, and suggested that I go from Mainz to Mombach, and then to Heidesheim and Budenheim. Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives Here are tertiary and diluvial sands, with remnants of the old sandsteppe flora. He suggested that I do not attempt to photograph at Momback, as this is a military drill ground. He also suggested that I get [[insertion]] y [[/insertion]] Jennecke's paper on the "Sand-flora von Mainz". He also suggested Sion, Switzerland, as a good place. He offers to send a German herbarium for sets of prairie plants. He also wants my prairie papers. He also wants notes on work in the Lakeside Laboratory. The work in the department of Botany is here mostly morphological and taxonomic. The physiological [[end page]] [[start page]] 193 work is done in a separate Institute by Dr. Haberlandt. Dr. Diels wants southwestern desert material, acorns of oaks. He also suggests that I publish a description (comparative) of the prairie, the sand - and salt - pustas of Hungary, and the steppe remnants at Prague. He also suggests that I send pamphlets, laws etc., concerning conservation, to Dr. Conwertz [[insertion]] (?) (Conwcatz) [[/insertion]] Berlin W. Grunewald Nr. 6/7 Dr. Diels then showed me about The building. The herbarium is very large, and occupies four stories of the building! It is wholly systematic.

There is also a large "museum", in part semi-popular, - with wood sections, fruits, products,etc. Dr. Diels said that this is kept up for popular use largely, as they must please those who furnish the money! There are cases that show tree-truck, root, fruit, leaves, parasites, etc. Also picture of tree. He suggested that five large plant pictures could be purchased from [[Nene?]] Photographischen Gesellschaft Berlin - Steglitz. Also colored scenes of mountains, etc., from: Nenker & Uslermeier Dresden. [[end page]] [[start page]] 195 We then took a stroll about the gardens, giving chief attention to the prarie section. This is badly confused, plants from the [[insertion]] ^ dry [[/insertion]] plains being mixed with those of the prairie. The beds lack altogether the aspect of the prairie. Many of the plants are in the wrong relation: [[underlined]] rhus glabra [[/underlined]] with plants of open prairie, [[underlined]] Heliopsis [[underlined]] (not [[Habu?]]) in the open ( where it is not doing well); etc. Altogether the aspect is more nearly that of some of the tangled prairie borders. I agreed to send seeds, with detailed descriptions of habitats, and with notes on the grouping of prairie plants in dry and wetter situations, on loess, sand, etc. This was a fine visit. Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives I then called at the Plant Physiology Institute across the way, but Dr. Haberlandt was out lecturing somewhere in Berlin, and I did not find him. The janitor took me about, and was able to explain the various laboratories, etc., as he is evidently also the "Diener". Dr. Haberlandt, who is also a [[Geherinsat?]], has a finely equipped office, and private laboratory. This is on main first floor (not basement). Here he has three laboratories in line on N. side. These are for microscopic work, and his "physiology" is evidently largely morphological (as had been suggested by Dr. Diels). He seems to have a large number of microscopes. [[end page]] [[start page]] 197 There is also a fine lecture room, with raised seats, a case for charts, (the charts are rolled up.) [[strikethrough]] and set up on end [[/strikethrough]] ) and a case for models which show fibrovascular bundles, etc. etc. On the 2nd floor (is not this where Dr. Habulandt's office is?)

Also an office or private room. On the 3rd floor, north side, are the docents rooms, and a museum room, in which there is not yet much in the way of collections, - some woods, fruits and bottled materials. Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives On the 4th (top) floor there is a photo room with sky lights, and a dark room. On the 2nd floor on the South side there is a chemical laboratory with hood, spectroscope, scales, and work-tables. On the first floor on the S. side is the library, and adjoining it, a reading room. The library is fair, but the reading room is small. It is evidently intended only for advanced students. The basement is high and mostly well lighted. On its north side are two physiological laboratories. These contain rotation tables, etc. [[end page]] [[start page]] 199 Next to these, on the west, is a small experimental plant-house, built as an annex to side of building, equipped with bell-glasses, etc. The tables in lab. are covered with gray linoleum. In the physiological laboratory there is not a large amount of glass ware, - I have as much. An Auxometer is set up, there are large accurate transpiration scales which will take plants 1 meter high, and some other [[insertion]] ^ minor [[/insertion]] apparatus, but not a large amount. On the south side of the basement there is a mycological laboratory, not yet much equipped, - in which Bacteriology is also to be included. There is also a garden and small Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives plant houses on the outside. This building is north and some east, across the street, from the Botanical Museum. It is new, [[underlined]] and not [[/underlined]] yet fully equipped. Dr. Diels informed me that the grounds hereabouts were first public (royal or state) property. It was decided to sell out, but reserve a part of the land for the garden and some public buildings. The departments of Botany, Zoology and Geology will be located here, - it is expected. The humanities will stay in the old building in Berlin, - also medicine. The ground here is somewhat rough, and is the loamiest around. Berlin. [[end page]] [[start page]] 201 I returned to Berlin at 2:45 P.M. and secured a lunch at the Pension. We then packed and left for Leipzig at 6.28 P.M. Paul did not get his laundry, and arranged to have it sent to Jena. The country from Berlin to Leipzig is a flat plain. The harvest is on. We saw an aeroplane near Leipzig. We reached Leipzig at 8.43 P.M., and put up at the Kistner Pension, - a very pleasant, homelike place. I stood a long time on the street - at Augustus platz, before Paul and Bertha succeeding in finding the place. My pile of baggage attracted some attention so late in the evening. While waiting I noticed that young fellows to tried to make up with girls on the street uniformly failed. A better lot than in Berlin!

I called at Max Weg's book establishment, and secured the addresses of German, Austrian and Swiss botanists (which I had left behind.) - Took photo 28. I then went to the Botanical Garden and called on Dr. Pfeffer, a venerable, fine old man, with whom I had a pleasant conference. He wants the Prairie paper. He had examinations, and so arranged with one of his young assistants [[end page]] [[start page]] [[in upper right corner]] 203 [[/in upper right corner]] to show me about. He used fair English. They have had this year about 380 students. On the ground floor there is a small plant house on S. side of building (an annex to it) for soil experiments, etc. Nearby is a small store-room for seeds to be used in experimental work. Next is a dark room, about 10 ft. square, with spectroscope, electric light, etc. Along the corridor are cases for chemicals, centrigal machines, and morphological apparatus. There is also a case resembling an ice-chest in which charts are kept, - rolled up and set up on end. There is also Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives a case for transpiration apparatus.

Here there is an apparatus for throwing spectrum on slide, under dark [[end page]] [[start page]] 205 hood, and observing the effect (attraction, etc) of different colored lights on algae. On east side are two connected laboratories (not large) for advanced students. Then south on the east side is a small chemical laboratory, and sterilizing apparatus. The upper story is devoted to the home (evidently sumptuous) and private laboratories of Dr. Pfeffer. On the north side of the basement is a small, cool plant house attached to building. Here Dr. Pfeffer is just new working (with auxonometer) on the force of drooping of leaves in "sleep". The petioles are stiffened with Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives wire, so that only drooping of blade is considered, and a fine wire is placed through blade, and passed over pulley of auxonometer. In the basement is a store-room for glass-ware. Students pay 1/3 of the breakage. Some departments, like chemistry, charge full price. A dark room for photography on East side. A small cool room, with cooling chamber in a double walled box, with packing. Cooling. A store room for Bacteriological ware, etc. A workshop, with necessary machinery and tools, vices, etc. A constant temperature room in [[end page]] [[start page]] [[in upper right corner]] 207 [[/in upper right corner]] the basement, with an electric thermostat, - i.e. one making and breaking electric connections. This is kept at 28°C (=82.4° F.). There is a special furnace for heating, and coke is used. The mechanism turns the hot air in or out. A gas-motor room contains presses which are capable of producing pressure of 1200 atmospheres. An ice-chest stands in the hall. A distilling room with automatic distilling apparatus. A cool room for paraffin work in warm weather. A special laboratory in which now an advanced student is trying to determine the effect of acetylene gas on plants.

I returned to dinner, as the gardens are closed from 12 to 2. After dinner we all started out for the Botanical Garden, with the intention of going on to the book & printing exhibition and the great [[underlined]] Denkemal [[/underlined]] erected in memory of the German, Austrian and Russian who fell at the battle of Leipzig. I took photos 7 and (in the garden) 1, [[insertion]] ^ 8, [[/insertion]] and 3. The Botanical Garden is not large. There are small systematic groups Bohumil Shimek - Diary, European trip, 1914 (1 of 2) Transcribed and Reviewed by Digital Volunteers Extracted Dec-11-2015 01:04:14 Smithsonian Institution Transcription Center, Smithsonian Institution Archives of plants, and small habitat groups like [[underlined]] Cactaceae [[/underlined]] , [[underlined]] Sedum [[/underlined]], etc. we then walked towards the Denkmal, and stopped to take photos, 4 and 29, of the Russian Memorial Chapel. I damaged my tripod here and returned to the city for repairs, while Bertha and Paul went on. Leipzig is a clean place. The people seem very different from those of Berlin, - they are cleaner (morally) and less pompous. There is an intellectual atmosphere about the city similar to that of Prague. Spent the evening in writing, and in packing for tomorrow's early trip to Halla. [[end page]] [[start page]] 211 T [[underlined]] Aug. 21, 1914. [[/underlined]] Praha. .29.
