The general explanation of these results has been indicatedin § 11. In a liquid or a viscous fluid under moderate stressthe instabilities are supplied by the mere thermal agitation atordinary temperatures, at the same rate in which they areused in promoting viscous motion. Hence -sdscosity is con-stant at a given tem])erature. In a solid under stress theinstabilities are expended at a rate decidedly greater than thesmall rate of continuous supply. Thus viscosity decidedly in-iucreases with time. Suppose, therefore, a solid of initiallygreater viscosity starts on its viscous deformation at an instantwhen the viscosity of a solid of initially smaller viscosity hasbeen increased by time to the initial value of the former can actually be realized by twisting a soft steel rod aboutan hour later than a hard steel rod (tig. 3
