To the Public.

The Bituminons Lime Rock Paving and I'm
provement Company take this opportunity of
informing the citizens and property owners of
this city that the pavement laid on Main street
between First and Third streets is not Bitumi-
nous Lime Rock, but is an artificial mixture and
not laid by the company. We make this an
nouncement for the purpose OF disabusing the
minds OF those who entertain the belief that
this pavement was laid by this company and
are disposed to criticise our material as being
soft and not suitable for the streets of this city
The only Bituminous Lime Rock Pavement
here was laid by this company, and extends on
Main street from south line OF Third to Ninth
street, and on Spring street from Temple to
Ninth streets. Bituminous Lime Rock does
not become soft and mushy under the heat of
the sun, but always remains firm and elastic.
We have already laid on the streets of this city
about five hundred thousand square feet of this
pavement to which we take pleasure in iryit.
ing inspection. Very Respectfully yours,

SPIT IN HIS FACE.
Detective Emil Harris, Encounter
with G. G. Stephens.

with c. G. stephens.
An alteration took place yesterday
afternoon on the stairs leading down
from Judge Cheney's courtroom, between
Emil Harris the detective, and G. G.
Stephens the attorney. In his speech
before the jury which acquitted A. J.
Lucas, Stephens used language about
Harris which Judge Cheney censured
and which Mr.. Harris vigorously resented.
This was Saturday afternoon. The two
met by chance on the stairs yesterday
just after the adjournment of Judge
Cheney's court, which is now trying the
Courier case. Harris confronted Steph-
ems, shook his fist in his face and called
him variety of unsavory names. Sew
eral of the gentlemen who were present
were disposed to interfere but Stephens
declared his ability to protect himself
against any assault.
II don't propose to dirty my hands
with you," said the detective, "but l
will spit on you," and he suited the ac-
ton to the word.
The attorneys friends say that the de-
tective merely spit at him. This is an
important technicalitv. Harris went to
Justice Taney and offered to place him
self under arrest, but that dignitary was
unable to see that the peace had been
seriously fractured in any way, and said
he would wait until some complaint had
been entered.

Limits of Human Senses.

The limited nature Of the human senses,
whereby we may fail to perceive an all per-
vading SECOND universe" has been greatly
emphasized by the progress Of science since
lsaac Taylor reasoned from it in his ''Physi-
cal Theory of Another Life" half century
ago. Improvement in spectroscopy and pho
Biography show that invisible rays extend as
far beyond the violet end Of the spectrum Us
the length of the spectrum itself, and indeed
must continue until tine vibrations become
infinitely rapid and infinitely small Some
of these ultra rays can be made visible BY in
terposing a substance that lessons their re-
Tranquility.
Professor Stokes, the physicist, found that
when a tube filed with a solution of quinine
sulphate was moved along the spectrum, ''on
arriving nearly at the violet extremity
ghostlike CLEAN of pale blue light shot across
the tub; it did not cease until the tubo
had been moved far beyond the violet ex-

it is conceivable that this instrument, in con-
nection with sympathetic and harmonic
vibrations, may bring down to audbility still
higher sources of sound. 1t is not aflrmable
that any construction of mortal eye and ear
could disclose the supernal; but it is certain
