A Giant Killed hy Dwarfs. 



The felted beech-scale is shown, highly magnified, on page 277. As it appears on beech-trees it is associated in millions, which give a snowv 

 appearance to the trunks. The central tree in this photograph has been killed by its attack, much of the bark having peeled off. Many 

 beech-trees in certain localities arc in the same condition throueh the attack of this scale.
