Tom Paine,s Bridge.

A piece OF cable recently found In a
historic dwelling at the Falls Of
Schuylkill recalls the first suspension
bridge OF a single arch ever attempted
In this country. The idea originated
with Thomas Paine, asthe great COM
noner of mankind" while he was
spending the summer of 1856 at the
hotel near the falls OF Schuykill. The
idea was suggested to him by the
mechanism Of a spider web, and he be-
gan to work upon plans for an iron
bridge to span the river at that point.
To lay his model before the French
Academy of Science, Paine went to
France in 1857, but that country was
already on the road to revolution, and
had no time for the study of bridges.
In England Paine forgot his scientific
mission and became absorbed in polit-
ical affairs, which ended with his i'm
prisoninent and gave to the world "The
Rights Of Man. but lost to it for many
years advanced scientific bridge-build-
