The color known as black is not NO.,
erly speaking, color at all, but the All
sence of all color or light. A substance
that absorbs all the rays of light falling
upon it would be perfectly black. but NO
such substance is actually known. as ALI
dyes or pigments, even of the darkest
shades, reflect a small quantity of the light
falling upon them
As black, however, is the total absence
OF light, it follows that nothing can be so
black as perfectly dark room or the ont

The Pintsch System Of Lighting
PasSen rer Trains Will, Gas.


Passenger Trains With Gas.
The Pintsch system of lighting by
means of compressed gas is pronou need
by competent judges to be the best
known means of car illumination.
1t is safe under any and all circum-
stances. 1t Is not affected by atmoS-
pheric changes. Burns more steadily
than any other light in use. Although
very brilliant. it is soft and agreeable.
1t emitS 10 smoke. is OdorleSs and per-
fectly clean.
1t is so effective and evenly dis
tributed that travellers i'll any part of
the car can read easily and comfortably.
1t IS simple in operation, absolutely
reliable and of constant quality.
Although this system has been in use
on some of the leading lines in the
East and in Europe for some time, the
Northwest belongs to The Northwest
ern Line'-C., st. P. NJ. & o. Ry.
The veStibuled trains on this line,
leaving Minneapolis at 80 p. M. st.
Paul 7:30 p. m, daily, for Chicago and
Milwaukee, are lighted throughout
with this gas.
In addition to the superior arrange
ment and comfort of the sleeping cars
on the vestibuled limited. this brilliant
light adds to the appearance of the car,
and passengers have expressed them
selves as delighted with this method of
lighting.

COUNTY OFFICERS.
A Little More Leeway in Fees
Allowed by the Delegation.


Allowed by the Delegation.
At last nights meeting the Ramsey
county delegation came very near abro-
eating every action of its previous
meeting. Sheriff Bean was given a
hearing, and he emphatically stated
that it is impossible for him to board
prisoners for less than 1926 a week.
The delegation had decided to cut this
fee to $3.50, but last night they re-
Sclnded that action and it was agreed to
allow the sheriff the present fee of 1925.
The sheriff also stated that the bill Dlac-
ing the collection of personal taxes in
the hands of the county treasurer
would materially decrease his income.
No definite action upon this bill! was
taken.
George Mltsch addressed the delega-
ton i'll reference TO the bill abolishing
the court house joint committee. He
opposed the measure and contended
that its passage would not result in any
saving to the county. The delegation,
however. declined to revoke the bill,
The bill requiring the sheriff, clerk

the county treasury was amended so as
to reduce the amount to go to the county

much damage was done by burning.

building and effected serious loss to the
occupants of the store rooms on the
ground floor. &. f. Benedict, the fur
