The Fowler Era thinks the late supposed' earthquake in Rensselaer was the result of the “busting up” of the Rensselaer Creamery enterprise. The facts in the case do not bear out the Era’s theory; although its reasoning in the matter was not

wholly without foundation, for the disruption of so solid an institution as the Rensselaer creamery, supposing so entirely iup probable an event to happen, would cause a convulsion of nature, for a fact. Any such inglorious slump as occurred to the Fowler creamery is impossible to imagine. The Rensselaer institution is not built on that plan. C. C.
