There was once a man who wanted to live forever. He lived in fear of dying.
One day he was walking along and saw a Chinese dragon. "Oh dragon." he said
"I live in fear of dying, I hear that you live forever. I wish I was you." Then the
dragon spoke. "Kind man, you shall not like living forever. I will show you what
it feels like."
The dragon carried him to an island where nobody died. The man lived
there and was amazed at how the people would buy poison. Then after a while he
understood, the people did not enjoy living forever.
He called the dragon; "take me back," he commanded. The dragon said "I
see you have learned your lesson." And now in China when people see dragons
they say "We are happy as we are oh Dragon."

Marie is as beautiful as any Hollywood star. Her thick, wavy, long black
hair gracefully falls down to her shoulders and surrounds exquisite, diamond
shaped face. A golden suntan usually highlights her smooth clear complexion.
Her slightly arched chestnut brown eyebrows draw attention to her deep blue
eyes, which remind me of a lake on a stormy day. Her eyes are large, but not too
large with thick eyelashes. Her nose is straight and neither too long nor too
short. A small mole on the left side of her mouth adds to her beauty. And her
mouth! It is small mouth that looks delicate and feminine. Her lips are rather
thin, but not too thin; her light pink lipstick adds another touch of beauty. When
she smiles, which is often, her well-formed and even, white teeth brighten up
her whole face. There is nothing but extraordinary in the face of Marie.

Dear Rossa,
I have a problem with a girl friend. She is twenty-five years old. We have been
dating each other of years, since we were high school students. Now we have
job. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is time to me to get married.
Unfortunately, her parents never approve of relationship ever since the very first
time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my girl friend
had the power to defend our love, but then she surrendered. She loves me and
she loves her family too. On the one hand she said, Ill be happy if my family
is happy. It means she had to get approval from her parents. For this, I was

Guglielno Marcony, an Italian inventor, proved the feasibility of radio
communication. He sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895. By 1899
he flashed the first wireless signal across the English Channel and two years later
received the letter "S", telegraphed from England to Newfoundland. This was the
first successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message in 1902.
Wireless signals proved effective in communication for rescue work when a
sea disaster occurred. Effective communication was able to exist between ships and
ship to shore points. A number of ocean liners installed wireless equipment. In 1899
the United States Army established wireless communications with a lightship off
Fire Island, New York. Two years later the Navy adopted a wireless system. Up to
then, the Navy had been using visual signaling and homing pigeons for
communication.
In 1901, radiotelegraph service was instituted between five Hawaiian Islands.
By 1903, a Marconi station located in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, carried an exchange
or greetings between President Theodore Roosevelt and King Edward VII. In 1905
the naval battle of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese war was reported by wireless,
and in 1906 the U.S. Weather Bureau experimented with radiotelegraphy to speed
notice of weather conditions.
