Numerous Lakes Were Formed
Throughout Country.

Sometimes a river is blocked by
landslide from hill or mountain
side. Such lakes as these are short
lived. for the river soon worries its
way through the barrier and carries
It. too. downstream. Other river or
watersheds have been blocked by the
hills of earth dumped down by some
glacier when it melted and these. of
course, live longer. Sometimes the
tide of the ocean sweeps sand into the
mouth of the river and temporarily
forms a lake. And sometimes sand
dunes are made faster in the river than
the water can wash them away-and
then another lake Is formed.
The commonest digger Of lakes In
Canada, the northeastern United States
and England was the last glacier.
which scooped out THOUSANDS of lake
basins In Wisconsin and Minnesota
alone. The famous finger lakes of
New York were made by glaciers, and
so were the beautiful English lakes.
In general, lakes are formed In three
main ways-by the blocking of some
stream by the scraping or dissolving
of the surface rock or by some move
ment in the earth's crust that leaves
a basin.

WIZ "sn rsaa we Trust"


IL Used ON Coins Of u. S.
The use of lin God We Trust" on
penny or other coin Of the United
States arose from a suggestion made
to the government during the Civil
war. In 1861 Rev. w. r. Watkinson,
of Ridleyville, Pa, wrote to the secre-
tary Of the treasury to express his
idea that Gods name should be recog-
nized on our coins. Secretary Chase
instructed the director of the mint to
have such a device prepared but the
designs were not read until 1868. One
Of the notices submitted was "God, Our
Trust; the one accepted was doubt
less taken from the well known line
in "The Star Spangled Banner" Con-
gress, on April %, 1864, passed an act
authorizing the coinage of a two-cent
piece bearing the motto In God We
Trust" BY later acts of congress au-
thority was given to place the motto on
other Uniter States coins.
