Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post office was set out to improve
transportation of the post office mails. From those early days to the present, the post office has helped develop and
subsidize every new mode transportation in the United States. Transportation has been the most important element in
mail delivery. Even when the general public had still suspected of the security of a new means of transportation, the post
office experimented with inventions that offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering
embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the process.
As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile, and airplane, with
intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts ensured the income necessary to
build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually spanned the continent.
By the turn of the 19th century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of stagecoaches for operation on the
nation’s better post roads – a post road being any road on which the mail travels – and continued to encourage new
designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail safely.

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered because poachers hunt
them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to make
carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere.
“ Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade,”
Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in September. And so our
message is “ Don’t buy it , and don’t take that chance”.
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002. Each
week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional
medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a goodluck charm – like a rabbit’s
foot in the United States. “ Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “ The other part is law enforcement. So
we have more than one strategy.”

I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the sea, and I have lived most of
my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake, river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is
something missing, even though it is sometimes hard for me to decide what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is possible to swim in small
swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water. Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a
big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to continue during the winter,
when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one row,
only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one. Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze wherever
they fall. In such weather, it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is rowing, one
gets warmer the longer one goes on.
