Abstract
WITH reference to Mr. Sedley Taylor's interesting note on Fluid Films, allow me to say that if a drop of water, clinging to the outside of a glass goblet, be lightly dusted with lycopodium powder, and a fiddle-bow be drawn across the edge of the glass, the drop will exhibit vortices, rotating in opposite directions.
