"Halt, das wäre Thorheit! So reich sind wir
noch nicht, und Müsziggang ist mir verhaszt!
Lasz mich meinen Weg weiter gehen, bis wir das
Ziel erreicht haben. Was würden die Leute
sagen, wollte ich nun die Hände in den Schoosz
legen und mich von Dir ernähren lassen ?"
(c) Wenn du willst in Menschenherzen
Alle Saiten rühren an;

Stimme du den Ton der Schmerzen,
Nicht den Klang der Freuden an.
Mancher ist wohl, der erfahren

Hat auf Erden keine Lust;

Keiner, der nicht still bewahren

Wird ein Weh in seiner Brust.-RÜCKERT.

9. Parse every word in these lines of Heine-
"Der Brief, den du geschrieben
Er macht mich gar nicht bang."

CHEMISTRY.

BOARD E.

1. State the law of multiple proportions. Show that the law is exemplified by the following facts:There are three oxides of phosphorus, and these contain respectively 56.36, 49.20, and 43.66

per cent. of phosphorus. [The truth of the atomic theory must not be assumed in answering this question.]

2. The composition of ethylene (olefiant gas) is accurately expressed by the formula CH; but

this is not its correct formula. Why not? Explain your answer fully.

3. Explain the theory of the neutralization of ammonia solution by an acid.

4. What is silica? How does it occur in nature? And how may it be converted into a soluble silicate?

5. Describe the chief compounds of silver, and give their names and formulæ.

6. What are the chief ingredients of coal-gas? Describe their properties. Explain the principle of the Bunsen burner.

7. Name the chief ore of each of the following metals, and give a brief account of one method by which each metal may be extracted:-(a) tin, (b) mercury, (c) lead.

PHYSICS.

BOARD E.

1. Distinguish between Linear and Angular Velocity and calculate the angular velocity of the earth's diurnal rotation in seconds of arc per second of time.

pressure at

2. What do you understand by the terms "
a point," "total pressure on a surface?"

Find the total pressure on the inner surface of a cylinder 2 feet in diameter, and 1 foot high, filled with oxygen gas under a pressure of 5 atmospheres (1 atmosphere 15 pounds weight per square inch).

3. State the principle of the Conservation of Energy, and apply it to determine the mechanical advantage of a lever with its fulcrum at one end, and the weight between the power and the fulcrum.

What do you mean by the efficiency of (a) a simple machine, (b) a steam-engine, including boiler and furnaces?

4. The volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted upon it." How then would you give precision to the term "coefficient of expansion," as applied to a gas? Why does this ambiguity not arise in connexion with the coefficient of expansion of a metal?

5. Distinguish between the Conduction and Radiation of Heat.

The heat transmitted per second through a square slab of iron 1 centimetre thick, and 100 centimetres in the edge, whose sides are kept at a difference of temperature of 100° centigrade, would boil 191 grammes of water initially at a temperature of 100° centigrade; the Latent Heat of 1 gramme of steam being 537, find the specific conductivity of iron.

6. Calculate the heat generated in stopping an engine weighing 30,000 kilogrammes, and moving with an initial velocity of 36 kilometres per hour, the mechanical equivalent of heat being 42,000,000.

Would the result be affected by the train being stopped rapidly or more slowly? Give reasons for your answer.

7. State the Laws of Static Electrical Action, and determine the direction and magnitude of the force exerted between two small spheres, each charged with 5 units of positive electrification, and placed 10 centimetres apart.

8. What is the magnetic declination, and how does it vary with geographical position?

9. Give an account of the principles on which the use of Wheatstone's Bridge depends.
