“The death-watch beetle is a menace," he said. "Every old roof- tree will be affected in. time. it is as great a danger to our ancient cathedrals as the ravages of time.

“Some time ago we managed to secure e. quantity of oak flooring with death-watch beetles. This tlmher— much of it. reduced to powder by their ravages-mas been examined at. the (foliage. and now we; know a good deal more ubunt tin-no de- siructlve creatures than ever be- fore.

“For the first time we have cot tbeso bcctiee to luy eggs under scientific observations. The eggs ore white and about. 1-20 of an inch lung. They take from two to three wooks to butch und the breedl lg SGIJHOII lasts “about a mout l. Eucb Decide aye from 60 to 70 eggi-l. We have noticed that the young immediately outer the wood when hatched mid are loin. to view.

They huvo strange hubite. After burrow- ing in a roof for. several yearsflhey will suddenly fly oway and desert it. That. happened in tho case of Westminlster liall, Gray's inn Hall, nnd others. Saple inn Hull roof was eaten away with beetles, but it has been saved. "Tho roof of the great hail at liumplom Court is being treated by the Office of works. while the wooden roof which supports ouber dome of Si. Paul's has also been rid of the pest. In Ireland there are several notable cathod- rais affected; including the I'm- testunt Cuthudrnl a Tumn. and in ‘England, Peterboro 5b is the ‘lat- ekt to he threatened. But unless umny more are treated there will be many more cases. v
