A macadamised road has been made from Jerusalem to Jaffa, and an American of the Java Colony drives a small omnibus on it—the only carriage on the road yet." An irreverent contemporary remarks:—"The piper that played before Moses would, we think, be considerably astonished if he saw the steam mill in full work, and the enterprising Yankee cracking his whip and smoking his cheroot as he coaches his team along the macadamised road."
