يدخل على الرشيد وينعيها اليه وانها تذهب الى زبيدة

تنعيه اليها فما رأة الرشيد باكيا قال له ما بالك تبكي

12. Translate into Arabic:

As evening comes on, and it is time to rest, Abdel Hassan dismounts from his horse, and strikes his spear in the sand. This is the signal for all the party to stop. The camels kneel, the riders dismount, Yussuf and Ayesha are lifted out of their baskets, and the servants are busy putting up their tents, for in the desert there are no towns, no houses. The wandering Arabs live always in tents. These are made by putting up a few long poles, and throwing over them coverings of goat's hair or sheep skins. The coverings are fastened to the ground with pegs. There is a curtain for a door, and sometimes the tent is divided into two rooms by another curtain. The curtains and poles can easily be taken down, and folded so as to be packed on the backs of the patient camels.

PURE MATHEMATICS.

DR. HART.

1. Determine the number of tangents to a curve of the fifth degree which are cut harmonically by the curve.

2. Show how to find the degree and class of the locus of the extremity of the polar subtangent of a curve of the mth degree.

3. Find the reciprocal polar, with regard to a cubic, of the Hessian determinant of the cubic.

4. If a curve of the fourth degree has four double points, show that it has also four double tangents, whose points of contact lie on a conic. 5. Show how to find the values of k, for which the equation

ABC-kD 2E

shall represent a cubic having a double point.

6. A cord of given length is attached to two fixed points at its extremities; find its form so that

ds

may be a minimum, p being the dis

tance of the element ds from a fixed point.

7. Investigate the form of a curve of given length which passes through two fixed points and encloses the greatest possible area on the surface of a given ellipsoid.
