Description: Scrapbook page contains one photograph of the desert in Hammam Meskoutine, Algeria. Annotated information tells a story of an Arab and his sister's marriage.

Transcription: "An Arab rich and powerful, had a sister, but finding her too beautiful to be married to any save himself, he determined to espouse her spite of the Mohammedan law and the supplications of the elders of his tribe, whose heads he cut off. Then commenced the usual marriage festivities, and as the accursed couple were about to retire, the elements were set in commotion -- fire came out of the earth, water left its bed and the thunder pealed in a fearful manner. When tranquillity returned, the Arab and his sister and every one connected with the feast were found petrified, the cones still representing the actors in this drama."
