READER in Oakland, Cal.

A READER in Oakland, Cal.
tells me that Shasta, ="
"A the name Of the great
California mountain, is not an
Indian but a Russian word. He
says that the Indian name Of the
mountain was "1eka,'' meaning
white" 1t may be that the
word Shasta was Of Russian
origin, but at any rate the noun
tain was named after the small
tribe Of Indians called the
Shastas.
The statement that the Indians
designated the mountain by q
word meaning in their language
white" is interesting in its bear
ing upon the great unsolved
question of the origin Of all
human language.
In recent number OF the
Revue des DeuX Mondes,
Charles Richet, the French ply
siologist, makes some strong
statements concerning the power
Of language to develop intelli-
gence. He maintains the thesis
that "the intelligence in develop

language enormously developed
