    = advantageous, better, improved, increased, optimal, superior, top, top quality, high-end, best ever.
    Ex. Often it would be advantageous to be able to snap the camera and to look at the picture immediately.
    Ex. Some degree of ignorance of this kind is not unusual since the usual objective in consulting an information source is to become better informed.

    Ex. Superior cataloguing may result, since more consistency and closer adherence to standard codes are likely to emerge with cataloguers who spend all of their time cataloguing, than with a librarian who tackles cataloguing as one of various professional tasks.
    Ex. ISI's indexes let you locate research in the world's top journals by citation, title word, author, institution, or journal.
    Ex. The quality of a university's research library may not be sufficient to attract top quality students.
    Ex. The system provides extensive map facilities which until now have been available only on high-end hypermedia systems like Intermedia.

  • 17 Sisal Hemp

    A fibre obtained from the leaves of the Agave rigida, and largely grown in Mexico. Mostly used in ropemaking. Also woven into rough fabrics for use of the poorer classes of Mexico. It is considered next to hemp for strength. There are two varieties, one grown in Mexico, Florida, Cuba and the Bahamas, and the other in Yucatan. It is also being grown in East Africa and India. After preparation the fibre is a straight, pale yellow ribbon from 2 feet to 4 feet long. The fibre is very strong, smooth, and has a yellowish colour (see False Sisal hemp)

  • 18 Common Hemp

    The so-called common hemp is the hemp proper and is derived from the bast of Cannabis sativa, a shrub growing from 6 feet to 15 feet in height. Though originally a native of India and Persia, it is now cultivated in nearly all the temperate and tropical countries or the world. It is an annual plant, with a straight stalk, and elongated, highly dentated leaves. The leaves have a narcotic odour and occur in bunches of three, five or seven. Russia produces an enormous quantity, Poland also is a large producer, both these are of a lower quality than others. French hemp is much superior in quality to that from either Russia or Poland, being fine, white and lustrous. Italian hemp is also of a very high grade. Indian hemp is grown not so much for its fibre as for its narcotic properties. Japanese hemp is of excellent quality, and appears in trade in the form of very thin ribbons, smooth and glossy, of a light straw colour, and the frayed ends showing a fibre of exceeding fineness. Hemp is the oldest textile that has been used in Japan. Hemp fibre is obtained from the plant by a process of retting, similar to that used for flax. Dew retting is chiefly employed, that is, the stalks are spread out in the fields until the action of the elements causes the woody tissue and gums enclosing the fibres to decompose. It is said that 100 parts of raw hemp produce 25 parts of raw fibre or filasse; and loo parts of the latter yields 65 parts of combed filasse and 32 parts of tow. The commercial fibre is pearly-grey, yellowish or greenish to brown in colour, and from 40-in. to 80-in. long. It is not as fine as linen, though its tensile strength is appreciably greater. The best qualities of hemp are very light in colour and possess a high lustre almost equal to linen. Hemp is principally used for twines and cordage, for which its great strength eminently adapts it, and also because it is very durable and does not rot in water. The better qualities of hemp are also used for " linen " crash, homespuns, carpets and as warp in making carpets and mgs.
