October 29, 1917 - (continued) At 4pm I had a date with an American dentist - Schiefly7 of the Severance Hospital situated near the RR station. He has devoted himself to operating on tooths and their diseases among Koreans. Here I met Dr. Mills8, a bacteriologist from Michigan University. He has taken up botany as a hobby and collected many plants in Korea which are particularly named by Kew9 experts. He is translating the Oriental into medical terms and identifying all the plants mentioned there. He has done a great deal of compiling of data already, but he is not a professional botanist and has not yet published any of his results. We discussed the Japanese changes in Korean names and he said most were mere translation of pronunciation, - the Chinese characters for the places remaining unchanged. Some names like Korea (Chosen) and Seoul (Keijo) were older names and had priority over our present day names. Ernest Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum (Harvard University) is now in Korea collecting plants on an island near Fusun. His wife and young daughter were at the Chosen Hotel awaiting his return. The American Consul, R.S. Curtis, asked me to dinner where I met some 6 married couples. One of the men, Mr. Morris, is a sportsman who knows Korea and the Yalu River very well. He has shot the largest boar here; it was weighed by him and found to be 550 pounds!! - A world record, I should say. He has shot deer, roe, sika and goral, but never tiger. Morris, Underwood and other hunters here use the model 401 Winchester Automatic for boar and deer, and speak well of this rifle.
