The name of several cruciferous plants of the genus             {Brassica} (formerly {Sinapis}), as white mustard ({B.             alba}), black mustard ({B. Nigra}), wild mustard or             charlock ({B. Sinapistrum}).          Note: There are also many herbs of the same family which are                called mustard, and have more or less of the flavor of                the true mustard; as, bowyer's mustard ({Lepidium                ruderale}); hedge mustard ({Sisymbrium officinale});                Mithridate mustard ({Thlaspi arvense}); tower mustard                ({Arabis perfoliata}); treacle mustard ({Erysimum                cheiranthoides}).          2. A powder or a paste made from the seeds of black or white             mustard, used as a condiment and a rubefacient. Taken             internally it is stimulant and diuretic, and in large             doses is emetic.          {Mustard oil} (Chem.), a substance obtained from mustard, as             a transparent, volatile and intensely pungent oil. The             name is also extended to a number of analogous compounds             produced either naturally or artificially.

The process involves two distinct reactions, in             which the oxygen of the air is essential. An intermediate             product, aldehyde, is formed in the first process. 1.             C2H6O + O = H2O + C2H4O          Note: Alcohol. Water. Aldehyde. 2. C2H4O + O = C2H4O2          Note: Aldehyde. Acetic acid.          {Alcoholic fermentation}, the fermentation which saccharine             bodies undergo when brought in contact with the yeast             plant or Torula. The sugar is converted, either directly             or indirectly, into alcohol and carbonic acid, the rate of             action being dependent on the rapidity with which the             Torul[91] develop.          {Ammoniacal fermentation}, the conversion of the urea of the             urine into ammonium carbonate, through the growth of the             special urea ferment. CON2H4 + 2H2O = (NH4)2CO3          Note: Urea. Water. Ammonium carbonate.          Note: Whenever urine is exposed to the air in open vessels                for several days it undergoes this alkaline                fermentation.          {Butyric fermentation}, the decomposition of various forms of             organic matter, through the agency of a peculiar             worm-shaped vibrio, with formation of more or less butyric             acid. It is one of the many forms of fermentation that             collectively constitute putrefaction. See {Lactic             fermentation}.          {Fermentation by an} {unorganized ferment [or] enzyme}.             Fermentations of this class are purely chemical reactions,             in which the ferment acts as a simple catalytic agent. Of             this nature are the decomposition or inversion of cane             sugar into levulose and dextrose by boiling with dilute             acids, the conversion of starch into dextrin and sugar by             similar treatment, the conversion of starch into like             products by the action of diastase of malt or ptyalin of             saliva, the conversion of albuminous food into peptones             and other like products by the action of             pepsin-hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice or by the             ferment of the pancreatic juice.          {Fermentation theory of disease} (Biol. & Med.), the theory             that most if not all, infectious or zymotic disease are             caused by the introduction into the organism of the living             germs of ferments, or ferments already developed             (organized ferments), by which processes of fermentation             are set up injurious to health. See {Germ theory}.          {Glycerin fermentation}, the fermentation which occurs on             mixing a dilute solution of glycerin with a peculiar             species of schizomycetes and some carbonate of lime, and             other matter favorable to the growth of the plant, the             glycerin being changed into butyric acid, caproic acid,             butyl, and ethyl alcohol. With another form of bacterium             ({Bacillus subtilis}) ethyl alcohol and butyric acid are             mainly formed.          {Lactic fermentation}, the transformation of milk sugar or             other saccharine body into lactic acid, as in the souring             of milk, through the agency of a special bacterium             ({Bacterium lactis} of Lister). In this change the milk             sugar, before assuming the form of lactic acid, presumably             passes through the stage of glucose. C12H22O11.H2O =             4C3H6O3          Note: Hydrated milk sugar. Lactic acid.          Note: In the lactic fermentation of dextrose or glucose, the                lactic acid which is formed is very prone to undergo                butyric fermentation after the manner indicated in the                following equation: 2C3H6O3 (lactic acid) = C4H8O2                (butyric acid) + 2CO2 (carbonic acid) + 2H2 (hydrogen                gas).          {Putrefactive fermentation}. See {Putrefaction}.

mouse droppings n.   [MS-DOS] Pixels (usually single) that are    not properly restored when the mouse pointer moves away from a    particular location on the screen, producing the appearance that the    mouse pointer has left droppings behind.   The major causes for this    problem are programs that write to the screen memory corresponding    to the mouse pointer's current location without hiding the mouse    pointer first, and mouse drivers that do not quite support the    graphics mode in use.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
mouse trails          A feature (usually of {Graphical User       Interface}s) which causes the {mouse} {pointer} to leave a       trail across the screen.   This is done by keeping track of the       last eight or so (maybe configurable) pointer positions, and       only erasing the oldest.   This means that at any time, there       may be up to eight pointers on the screen, but if the mouse is       still, they will all be in the same position, and so only one       will be visible.   When the mouse moves, it appears to leave a       trail of pointers behind it, and this can dramatically       increase the visibility of the pointer when using {LCD}       screens.   The older ones had such long {persistence} that a       single mouse pointer, when moving, tended to be completely       invisible, and on a cluttered screen, was very difficult to       find.          (1996-07-08)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mustard       a plant of the genus sinapis, a pod-bearing, shrub-like plant,       growing wild, and also cultivated in gardens. The little round       seeds were an emblem of any small insignificant object. It is       not mentioned in the Old Testament; and in each of the three       instances of its occurrence in the New Testament (Matt. 13:31,       32; Mark 4:31, 32; Luke 13:18, 19) it is spoken of only with       reference to the smallness of its seed. The common mustard of       Palestine is the Sinapis nigra. This garden herb sometimes grows       to a considerable height, so as to be spoken of as "a tree" as       compared with garden herbs.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mystery       the calling of the Gentiles into the Christian Church, so       designated (Eph. 1:9, 10; 3:8-11; Col. 1:25-27); a truth       undiscoverable except by revelation, long hid, now made       manifest. The resurrection of the dead (1 Cor. 15:51), and other       doctrines which need to be explained but which cannot be fully       understood by finite intelligence (Matt. 13:11; Rom. 11:25; 1       Cor. 13:2); the union between Christ and his people symbolized       by the marriage union (Eph. 5:31, 32; comp. 6:19); the seven       stars and the seven candlesticks (Rev. 1:20); and the woman       clothed in scarlet (17:7), are also in this sense mysteries. The       anti-Christian power working in his day is called by the apostle       (2 Thess. 2:7) the "mystery of iniquity."
