8 beauty & wonder of the plant-structures are of rl real value, while the name is a mere handle, or means to an end — not the end itself. Dublin : August 20 & The strike is declared & it is doubtful whether we can get out of here to-morrow . We reached the boat from Glasgow without trouble & had a perfectly smooth journey over. Scottish cities are dark, dirty, uninviting with no greenery — such a contrast to Germany. And such swarms of dirty, neglected, abject human beings! “It’s the drink” & the saloon. The Germans were clean, sober, well-kept, with all their beer innocently drunk — but get in the land of saloons, whiskey & such string things & the contrast is appalling. Ireland is the same as Scotland . I do not care to visit either again. And oh, I am so glad I am American! We saw a wonderful group of fossil tree-ferns, in the position where they were discovered in the rock at Glasgow . They opened up a whole world of wonder & imagination.
