Motto. In heraldry, short, pithy 

 sentence, sometimes a single word, 

 usually placed on a scroll beneath 

 the coat of arms or crest, or round 

 the shield. They were personal to 

 the bearer, but were commonly 

 perpetuated in families. 



The motto differs from the 

 Guerre, war cry, or slogan, which is 

 placed on a scroll above the crest 

 or badge. See Heraldry. 



Motza. Name given to the un- 

 leavened bread eaten by the Jews 

 at the Passover. There are about 

 seven large, dry cakes or biscuits to 

 a pound of motza bread, one egg 

 being used in each cake. It is 

 made in the home, or can be 

 bought at a Jewish grocer's or 

 baker's, in which cases the motza 

 should be soaked in water and 

 drained before eating. See Passover. 



Moufflon OR MOUFLON. Species 

 of European wild sheep, Ovis 

 Musimon, found only in Corsica 

 and Sardinia. It is about 28 ins. 

 high at the withers, and the wool 

 of the upper parts is reddish brown, 

 with white on the underparts. 

 The curved horns in the male 

 sometimes reach 3 ft. in length. 

 The animals are found in flocks 

 on the highest peaks of the hills, 

 and are very difficult to approach. 



Moulding. In architecture 

 and joinery, the surface formed 

 on any piece of stone, timber, or 

 other material by casting or cutting 

 according to a continuous pattern ; 



Moulding. Types in use in architec- 

 ture and joinery, a, ovolo ; b, torus; 

 e. cavetto ; d, ogee or cyma recta ; 



e, cyma reversa or reverse ogee ; 



f, scotia ; g, bead ; h, solid 01 

 " laid-in " moulding contrasting 

 with j, stuck or planted moulding ; 

 k. compound moulding, quirk, ovolo 



and bead ; 1, bolection moulding 



by extension, the piece of material 

 so moulded. The mouldings in 

 Greek architecture have been 

 elaborately classified as the ovolo, 

 ogee, cyma recta, torus, scotia or 

 trochilus, cavetto, astragal, and 

 fillet or annulet. The cyma recta 

 and cavetto were mainly used as 

 purely decorative finishings ; the 

 ovolo and ogee as supports to other 

 members of the composition ; the 

 torus and astragal for the tops and 

 bottoms of columns ; the scotia as a 

 means of separating one part of a 



Moufflon. Ewe and lamb of the Corsican 

 species of wild sheep 



base from the other; and the fillet for 

 every kind of architectural profile. 



Roman and Renaissance forms 

 of moulding were based on the 

 Greek, and certain classic mould- 

 ings were adopted by the Gothic 

 architects, who used mouldings of 

 every description lavishly. The 

 medieval mason worked according 

 to a system almost as rigid as the 

 classical one, though the far 

 greater variety drawn upon might 

 point to a contrary conclusion. In 

 Britain Norman architects rarely 

 indulged in more elaborate mould- 

 ings than the plain cylindrical roll , 

 but the introduction of the pointed 

 arch and lancet windows opened 

 the way for numbers of new forms. 

 These were employed so systema- 

 tically at different points that the 

 dates of certain Gothic buildings 

 can be told from the mouldings 

 alone. Early English mouldings, 

 which include the roll, fillet, and 

 dog-tooth, are generally of finer 

 workmanship than those of later 

 date. Perpendicular work is 

 flatter and harder. See Panelling. 



Mould (Hyphomyceteae). Di- 

 vision of fungi consisting of small, 

 mostly gregarious and superficial 

 plants, either saprophytes or para- 

 sites. They form velvety patches 

 on decaying animal or vegetable 

 substances. The plants consist of 

 delicate threads, a single row of cells 

 placed end to end (hyphae) and 

 ending hi conidia minute spores 

 or reproductive bodies, which are 

 always free and not enclosed in
