“The ordinary man…will find a little difficulty in comprehending how sunbeams are to be used. Does Prof. Bell intend to
connect Boston and Cambridge…with a line of sunbeams hung on telegraph posts, and, if so, what diameter are the
sunbeams to be…?…will it be necessary to insulate them against the weather…?…until (the public) sees a man going through
the streets with a coil of No. 12 sunbeams on his shoulder, and suspending them from pole to pole, there will be a general
feeling that there is something about Prof. Bell’s photophone which places a tremendous strain on human credulity.”
