VALUE OF FINGERS.
what the Various Countries of EN-.
rope Allow For Their Loss.

The different fingers are far from
having the same value in the eyes OF
the law with reference to their func-
tional utilization. Much the most i'm
pertant Is the thumb, for without ii
prehension would be very imperfect
The hand is no longer pinchers, but
merely a claw, when deprived Of the
thumb. 1t may be estimated that the
thumb represents fully a third of the
total value of the hand. The French
courts allow 10 to 35 per cent value
for the right hand and 10 TO 10 for
the left. The Austrian schedule gives
from ID per cent for the left TO % per
cent for the right. In Germany 20
and % per cent and even as high as
1913 per cent has been awarded. The
percentage Is based on 100 as the total
Industrial value Of the hand previous
to the accident, a loss Of 30 per cent
representing half of the value, etc.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10
to 15 per cent In Austria, Is to 20 per
cent In Germany, 15 per cent for the
left and 20 per cent for the right By
italian courts. The French allow IL
per cent.
The middle finger Is OF much more
Importance than the index, states DIR.
Meiguan, whom we are citing and who
Is no small authority, for a great loss
Of force Is observed In the hand when
the finger Is amputated. Yet almost
all the authorities ascribe less impor-
lance to 1t than the index. The Italian
law allows 5 per cent, the Austrian 9
to 10 per cent.
The ring finger is the least important
Its total loss often does not cause in
capacity. The Austrian tariff assimi-
lates this finger to the middle one. The
italian law Is liberal, with 8 per cent.
The French and German tribunals Of
ten refuse indemnity, considering the
Incapacity resulting from the loss as
very slight.
The little finger may be compared to
the ring, except In the professions I'm
which 1t serves as a point of support
Tor the hand. 1t may be remarked here
that the artist has not been taken into
consideration In these cases.-Philadel-
