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.

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.
