of such hand, arm, foot, leg or eye, and for the loss of the
fractional part of the vision of either one or both eyes, the
injured employee shall be compensated in like proportion to
the compensation for total loss of vision, and in arriving at
the fractional part of vision lost regard shall not be had
for the effect that correcting lens or lenses may have upon
the eye or eyes.

sidered as the equivalent of the loss of a foot. Amputation
at or above the elbow shall be considered as the loss of an
arm. Amputation at or above the knee shall be considered

The compensation for the foregoing specific injuries shall
be paid in addition to, and consecutively with, the compensa-
tion hereinbefore provided in Sub-Section 2 of this Section.

Other Cases—In all other cases in this class of disability
the compensation shall be fifty per centum of the difference
between his average weekly wages and his wage-earning capa-
city thereafter in the same employment or otherwise, if less
than before the accident (but not to exceed eighteen dollars
per week), payable during the continuance of such partial
disability, but not to exceed three thousand dollars, and sub-
ject to reconsideration of the degree of such impairment by
the Commission on its own motion or upon application of
any party in interest.

In all cases where there has been an amputation of a part
of any member of the body herein specified, or the loss of
the use of any part thereof, for which compensation is not
specially provided herein, the Commission shall allow com-
pensation for such proportion of the total number of weeks
allowed for the amputation or the loss of the use of the
entire member, as the affected or amputated portion thereof
bears to the whole.

not hereinbefore provided for, compensation shall be allowed
