AN ENGINEER
PRAISES THE
WOOD BLOCKS
DECLARES THAT LONG LEAF
YELLOW PINE HAS GIVEN Ex-
cELLENT SERVICE ON STREETS
OF BRITISH CAPITAL.

Confirmation Of the value OF long
leaf yellow pine wooden blocks as
paving substance was received in Ne"
York yesterday when the result of an
interview between William B. Lewis,
a director of the Market Street Mer-
chants association, and J. G. Garth
waite, assistant engineer Of London,
who unqualifedly gave as his opin-
ion that he is in favor of wood blocks
an dstated that they have given sat
faction in the English capital.
Mr.. Lewis, who is on soreign tour,
and is intensely interested in having
Market street paved with the best and
most durable material, said that Mr.
GGrthwaite stated that creosoted
pine wood blocks have proven most
satisfactory, and especially so where
the traffic is the heaviest. 1t has
given such good service, he said, that
the streets in the suburbs have been
paved with the same material.
Engineer Garthwaite laid especial
emphasis on the value of wood block
as a street paving material, because,
he said. it is noiseless, clean, sani-
tary, artistic, cool in summer, more
durable than any other material and
is easily kept in repair. In some
parts of London, Mr.. Garthwaite said,
the same blocks have been III con-
slant use for more than twenty years
without requiring repairs

EMINENT REGULATIONS CALL
FOR CAREFUL NAVIGATION.

In view OF the ignorance OF some OF
the regulations governing the opera
ton of the motor boats. the follow
ing from the circular, copies OF which
may be had upon application at the
custom house, is published:
All motor vessels, without regard
to size or use, must be provided with
an efficient whistle, an efficient fog
horn, and an efficient bell. No size
or style of whistle. fog horn or bell
is prescribed, provided 1t is available
and sufficient for the use for which
it is intended. The word efficient
must be taken in its ordinary sense,
considered with reference to the OBJ
jet intended by the provisions In
which the word appears, namely, the
production of certain signals. The
power to operate the whistle Is not
prescribed, but it must be Of such a
character as to produce a prolonged
blast" which is defined as OF 1rotn
four to six seconds duration.
When navigated between sunset
and sunrise they must carry regula-
ton lights, namely:
l. A bright white hight at the bow
or head of the vessel.
g. A green light on the starbOard
side, and a red light on the port side.
provided with proper screens. The
side lights may be so affixed to the
coaming or to the sides of the deck
house as to be properly screened,
provided the lantern be backed with
metal Whenever the green and red
side lights cannot be AFFIXED, they
must be kept lighted and ready for
use as provided by article six of the
act of June z, 1907.
The law does not appear to permit
the use Of a three-color "combina-
ton" light.
8. A white light aft, showing all

CoLORED MAN WHO HAD HIS
FIRST EXPERIENCE IN Wealth
Err SERVICE IN THIS CITY DIS
APPEARSl
The Mobile Item of yesterday con-
tanned the following:

The Mobile Item Of yesterday con-
tanned the following:
Elijah S. Handy has gone.
There isn't much in the mere an
nouncement of the above, tits true,
unless the story of Handy's coming to
Mobile is told. Fact is, Handy is a
negro. He broke into the United
States weather bureau department a
few weeks ago through passing the
civil service examination and put the
otherwise placid condition of two bu-
reaus in a ripple.
Elijah S. is from Clarke county. Up
to a month ago he was as obscure as
oysters in Greek Jumbalai- Then he
was advised that he had successfully
undergone civil service for the wealth
er bureau. About the same time there
was need for an assistant in the
weather bureau at Pensacola. Thither
Handy was ordered to fill the vacancy.
When it became known that Z. s.
Handy had been ordered by the de-
paTtment to Pensacola as assistant IN
the weather bureau there the papers
of that city gave publicity to the good
news-an assistant would materially
facilitate matters in that Office.
When the negro walked into the
weather bureau there and announced
IudI he was EllJdu D 1duuy anu udu
been ordered there as assistant, the
weather observer came near fainting.
There must be some mistake" he
managed to say. You have evidently
been ordered to Mobile"
Handy assured him that it was Pen
sacola. Then charges of incompe-
tency were filed against Handy and
he was ordered to Mobile. Handy
came, and the assistant in the local
Office was ordered to Pensacola. The
negro was given desk, but it was
soon apparent that Handy's ability as
an attache of such a large office as
the Mobile bureau was far from re-
Quirements, for within twenty-four
hours the former assistant was en-
route back to Mobile.
Now Handy has severed his con-
nection with the local bureau.
The simple official announcement
was made yesterday that Elijah s.
Handy's service in the local bureau
had terminated.
No other explanation was offered.
The dark cloud" of the weather de-
partment who put everything on edge
in the two bureaus has f1oated away
to-no one seems to know where.
