Abstract
MR. HATSCHEK, in his interesting article in NATURE of June 11, p. 857, has shown that colloidal solutions and even the simplest suspensions of solid particles in liquids exhibit a property which is absent from all true liquids; namely, residual rigidity, or at least a coefficient of viscosity that depends upon tho rate of shear. He has advanced no explanation of this remarkable result, which would, however, appear to be just one manifestation of a general property of all surfaces involving liquids.
