~ tSOlCL
The eminent writer, M. Emile zola,
quite recently, while he was going down
Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin, at Paris,
was knocked down by hack, which
passed over his legs, without, fortunately
doing any other damage than bruising
him. NJ lola has superstitious horror
of the number II. This number Is to
him unlucky. After he arose, he looked
at the number of the hack, added up the
figures In flash, and found the total to
be II. The great writer had, for long
time, held the belief that the number II
had malign influence upon him, and
that aggravated the case. DIR. Tolouse
has recently devoted volume to study
of NJ lola, in which the character, tenn
permanent and the very sources Of the
illustrious writer's talents are analysed
with all the resources of psychology and
D HISTOLOGY. The author says: "Thus,
certain figures have bad influence upon
NJ. Zola. If the number of hack, when
added up, forms this figure, he will not

of his arithmomaniacal impulses.

the multiples of z that reassure him.
Thus, in the night it often happens that
he will open his eyes seven times in order
to prove to himself that he is not going

seems to him to be unlucky, and chance
has ordained that he should recognize 9
coincidence of certain unfortunate occur
rences with that date. Similar super sti-
tious ideas exhibit themselves outside OF
all arithmomania. Thus, he will perform
certain acts with the idea that, if he does
not do So some annoyance will happen tc
him. So he will touch the gas burners
that he meets with in the streets. sur
mount an obstacle with the right foot

etc. For long time he feared that he
would not succeed in the proceeding that
he was going to undertake unless hs
started out of the house with h is left foot
