Baker was born ill London in 1 821, and at an early age showed signs of the ro0ing disposition and Iauntloss courage which he had doubtlessly. inherited from his ances- tors, some of whom had been war- mers of renown in the days of Eliz- abeth. He was quite unfitted for the. mercantile career which his fa- ther, a prosperous merchant, bad destined for him, and at the age of 22 he was sent out to Mauritius to take charge of a plantation. Three years later his strong desire for ad- venture led him to Ceylon, the re- sources of which had not been dc- vel0ped, and there he found congen- ial occupation in establishing a Bri- tish settlement, which still flourishes and remains i1 monument to his in- itiative and industry. In 1801 he made the ifrst of his memornhle African expeditions and journeyed up and down the many rivers cinptying into the Nile. He made many valuable discoveries, and proved that the periodical floods of the historic. river were caused by the mass of water collected in its tribu- tary streams during the rainy season and not by the ovcrlow front great lc:kes in Central A frica, as was for- merly bettered. At the end of 2802 he conmtenccd his second and most famous expedi- 11on, and started from Khartoum with the intention of following tito course of the Nile to its source. Two months later he arrived at Gondo•nko, where he encounkaed J. 11. Spelcc, tt-lio' was travelling down the Nile after having discovered its main source in Lake Victo0is Nyan- za. Speke's announcement of his great achievement deprived Baker o, the main ob'. t of his journep, :nr. ho then decided to seek. a second large lake, which Spoke bo'i.'ved ! : he another source of the Nile, but which. he had been unable t, discov- er. • Baker's journey into the Unknown proved to be one of the most peri- lous and arduous in the. .n :1: of African ogploration, and for many months he carried his life in his hands. His progress towards his goal was hampered by the hostility of the natives and the slave -traders, to say nothing of the constant dim- inution of his small force by deser- tion, but finally on the 14th March ' 1 36 he came in sight of the glisten- ing waters of the Albert Nyanza, ! and he was able to return to Khar- toum niter an absence of two and a half years with the news that thy final problem o1' 010 mysterious riv- , The Bank's first arena:a:a, Halifax.

Barnby scorns u bed after daylight, and throughout the clay stoves about freely. Age has dealt kindly with him. His flowing white hair' and slightly bowed shoulders mor'k him as a man who has outlived the Biblical span of three score years and ten. Though long past that mark, his memory is good and his mind functions well. Years hrvo dimmed his eyes, howe.- er, ami be has practically lost sight of both. Only on the brightest of days ishe able to distinguish large objects.. His hearing, too, is failing now, b'ut radio has been a blessing. Ear phones have made it possible to hear music from space. The Wonder of Radio The pleased light of wonder that was expressed in the features of Mr. Ilurnby when his ears reawakened to the sound of radio will not soon be forgotten. When the words of fam- ily and friend failed to penetrate the deaf walls, modern science took their ;dace. Curiously enough, the first message.he hoard over the rad- io was that of the church. It hap- pened in the time that the program of the First Baptist Church, P%'rtiacl, Mich., was broadcast. It also hap- pened that a prize was offered for the oldest person listening in. bit', rarnby won the prize. • Music means a great deal to Mr. Barnby. In bis youth he had a rich and powerful voice, at voice that for scores of years has sung the old hymns of the Methodist faith. Mr, Barnby still sings and his voice holds notch of its beauty and resonances, 1'ioen the visit of his pastor a few days ago Mr. Barnby sang the linos of the old psalm, "Th110, like an ever -rolling stream, bears all its sone away; they fly forgotten as a dream files at the opening day” 141x, Barnby carries out his relig- ion in his every -day life. Visitors to his home remember him for his fine. courtesy and deep reverence. He is a great lover of the Scriptures and a devout Methodist. Mach of his time ' is spent in dwelling on the comforts attendant upon a life well lived in her shadow of the church. He relates that when an infant Ito was baptized in the Church of Eng- land, when ministers of. the. Method- ist Church, to which his family !w - longed, were not supposed to ho qualified to perform the ceremony.

It was at Woodstock that he married Eliza- beth Johnson, a Scotch immigrant, who made ]rim a devoted wife. Pre - Mous to these days he had spent some years in tine vicinity of Mon- treal, where he had arrived as an 1(0 migrant at the age of 22. He was born on 3101'Ch 11. 1821, at Raeford, Yorkshh•c, N n„!turd, place that must have produced hardy sons and daughters given to longev- ity.
