The spirit of accord and harmony which prevailed at yesterday's meeting between the bankers of this city and the local business men should bo the most encouraging of signs in the present financial stringency, to such, if any there be, who need encouragement. With cash up temporarily in tho great marts of commerce throughout the country, it was not to be expected that Hammond would be able to stand up indefinitely and defy the prevelant conditions elsewhere, paying cash on all checks and receiving none in return. The business

houses of tho city is no what lessened. The merchants and manufacturers' unanimous willingness to accept the paper for its face value, demonstrates their unshaken confidence in the local financial Institutions. In the first place they realize that the prosperity of the country at large it too great to make possible a prolonged stringency at this time. The wonderful prosperity of the west and the Calumet region particularly, where capitalists have been pouring in millions upon millions of dollars for the past two years, is too great to be overthrown by an eastern financial flurry and in Hammond, where the bankers have for the past year or two forseen the approaching financial conditions and were prepared for them. There is every reason for the confidence that was shown by the business men at yesterday's meeting. But although Hammond's banks have warranted the confidence which was bo cheerfully accorded them, it Is no less a credit to the business men of this city that they have been so prompt In Its acknowledgment.

For Air Regeneration.
Fused sodium peroxide, electrically
prepared, is the chemical agent in a
process of air regeneration that has
been recommended for such purposes as submarine boats, etc. In contact with water, pure oxygen is given off,
caustic soda being formed. The soda
absorbs the carbolic acid, coating the peroxide with a crust of carbonate,
which is removed by shaking the
chemical in a wire net or gauze cylin
der. It is found that six and threefourths ounces of the peroxide give the seven gallons of oxygen required by one man per hour, and that 20 pounds should sustain nine men in a submarine of 2,700 cubic feet capacity for nine hours before the carbonic acid in the air breathed would Increase to a troublesome quantity.
