1847 he established an agricultural settlement and sana'orium at Newera Ellis, in the moun- tains of Ceylon, at an altitude of 6,200 feat above the son level. At great personal cost he together with his brother, conveyed emigrants from England, and the best breeds of cattle and sheep, to found the mountain colony. The Impulse given by this adventure secured the assistance of the Colonial Office, and with the Increasing prosperity of Ceylon, Newers Ellis has become a resort of con- iderable importance, the most recent develop- ment being the cultivation of the valuable clnchoas plant. In 1844 Baker retired from Ceylon after eight years' residence, and at the death of his wife in 1855 he proceeded to the Crimes, and he was subsequently engaged in Turkey in the organization of the first railway. In 1861 he commenced an enterprise entirely at his own coat for the discovery of the Nile sources in the hope of meeting the Gavers- ment expedition coder the command of Captain Speke, who had started from Zanzibar with the same object. Having married, in 1860, Florence, daughter of M. Finnlan von Sars, he was accompanied throughout this arduous Journey by his wife. Leaving Calro April 1th, 1861, he reached, on June 13th, the junction of the Albara with the Nile. For nearly a year he explored the regions of Abrasiala whence comes the Blue Nile, and in June, 1863, descended to Khartoum, at the Junction of the Blue and the Waite Nile. Here he organlied a party of ninety-six persons to explore the course of the latter river. They set out in December, 1862, and reached Gondakore in February, 1863. Here Baker had the good forture to meet Captains Speke and Grant, who had succeeded in reaching the Lake Victoria Nyanza, which they believed to be the ultimate source of the Nile. Baker, having resolved to supplement their explorations, supplied them with the necessary vessels for the voyage to Khartoum, and started from
