buildings In Europe. It Is 780 feet Ions
and 623 feet wide, with tall towers at
the angles. It comprises at once a
monastery, a church, a palace and a
mausoleum.

Graveyard Marriage*.
A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe In the Caucasus. When a
single .voting man dies some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has carried
to the grave a marriageable daughter
lu the course of a year and says: "Your

you my daughter, and .vou shall delher
to me the uiarrlase portion In return."
A friendly offer of this description Is
never rejected, and the two parties
soon come to terms as to the amount
of the dowry, which varies according

Australia's Stony Desert
The treat stony desert of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Start,
an Australian explorer, in 1845-11. It
Is norfh of the river Parting and 1<
about 300 miles long and 1011 broad,
consisting of sandy dunes or rldces
Its want of trees, except alonK the
creeks, gives thp country a sterile ap
pearanee. These ridges were probably
formed by the Joint effect of winds
and a gradually retlrln* sea. Accord
Ing to Captain Sturt. these waters were
gradually lost bv evaporation or car
ried to some undiscovered sea The
only vegetation, growing scantily. Is

stunted growth. Water Is scarce ex

and this Is generally brackish Few
travelers care to traverse this Inhos
