The ordinary manwill find a little difficulty in comprehending how sunbeams are to be used. Does Prof. Bell intend to
connect Boston and Cambridgewith 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. Bells photophone which places a tremendous strain on human credulity.
