A man of six feet wth ruddy complexion and short chin whiskers, Andrus was conspicuous both because of his build and his old-fashioned attire. Despite his im mense wealth, he blacked his own shoes but he gave away many millions in philanthropy. Andrus' wife, who was Julia M. Dyckman, died on Christmas eve 25 years ago.

26. (JP) A new toy zeppelin which rides on an jirplane wing and speeds up flying weather forecasting 75 per cent was shown here today for the first time on the eve of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The little zep is a new gadget in Uncle Sam's inauguration of air-mass weather forecasting, which takes out some of the guesswork by analyzing the air up to 20,000 feet The high speed instrument was perfected three weets ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and brought here for the exposition of the scientists. It enables a plane to record the minutest changes in temperature, pressure and humidity while flying full speed. In tests at Cambridge the zep cut down by 75 per cent the time formerly required for weather-forecasting flights and also reduced expenses.

The zeppelin is 14 inches long, three inches thick and carries an elongated gondola underneath Its streamlines reduce the flying air pressure which formerly slowed down the recording instruments on planes. There are three robot passengers in the miniature airship, two in the gondola and one inside the fabric body. A human hair, usually blonde, rides in the gondola tp record humidity changes. Science knows nothing more sensitive than human hair for absorbing moisture. Blondes are the most sensitive.

This hair is stretched prone in the gondola, the air hitting it head on and flowing along its sides. Beside it is stretched a strip of metal no wider than a baby ribbon, but only a hundredth of an inch thick. It is made of two metals and acts as a thermometer. Inside the body of the airship is a barometer for registering pressure. All three of these trace their records on a single piece of smoked glass only one inch square.
