Amer ican republics, is notable for active volcanoes and a huge lake in habited by unique fresh - water shafts. Most of the country's . 1,331,000 people live in the steamy Pacific coastal plain dominated by a string of some two dozen volcanoes and Lago de Nicaragua, the National Geographic Society says. The most famous volcano, Momo tdmbo, smokes almost constantly. A picture of it on a postage stamp helped tip the balanoe against Nicaragua as the route for a trans isthmian canal. Supporters of the Panama route cited the stamp to back their argument that Nicara gua was more subject to earth quakes and volcanic action than Panama. Lake 1M Miies Long Lago de Nicaragua, an oval 100 miles long and 45 miles wide, was the key to the proposed Nicaraguan canal. Shipping would have gone from Caribbean Sea up the San Juan River to the lake. From there, only a short canal would have been needed to reach the Pacific Ocean. Geologists believe the lake was a bay of the ocean until an earth quake pushed it 105 feet above sea level and locked out the ocean. The sharks adapted themselves as the fresh water gradually replaced the salt. Managua, the capital, is located on a large lake of the same name near Lago de Nicara gua. The San Juan river basin has offered a convenient east - west transport route since the days of the Spanish conquest and was fol lowed by many Forty-Niners bound for the California gold fields. The prospectors didn't stop to look for gold. Ironically, gold now is one of the principal exports of Nicaragua. Most exports, however, are agri cultural. Coffee flourishes in the fertile volcanic soil, but in recent years it has taken second place to cotton as the leading cash crop. Nicaragua also ships much cotton seed, sesame seed, and lumber. An ambitious road - building program is opening more of the Michigan sized nation to agriculture. case can ns wanonat apart Nicaragua's trade is iargeiy with the United States. One informat import, basebaii, has become the national sport. An Amateur World Series is held annually between Latin American teams. In one Series, the late President Anastasto Somoza took over as manager! of the Nicaraguan team. Spectators eat a local version of the hot dog called a chicharron. Christopher Columbus discovered Nicaragua on his fourth voyage to the New World in 1902 Twenty years later, a Spanish force in vaded the land. The Indians were so frightened by bristling beards that all Spanish soldiers were. or dered to grow them, and those who couldn't were issued false ones. A colonizing force under Fran cisco Fernandez Cordoba (for whom the country's monetary unit is named) later founded the cities of Leon and Granada, still noted for their colonial charm. Most 'present - day Nicaraguans are of Spanish - Indian or Spanish ances try. On gaining freedom from Spain in 1821, Nicaragua joined the short - lived Mexican Empire, then the Equally ill-fated federation of Central American republics. When the later union dissolved in strife. Nicaragua declared itself indepen dent in 1838. Boards of directors of Citizens National Bank and Durham Bank Trust Company have aptprov a merger of the two institu tions through the exshange of stock.
