The "beast," is an embodiment of the boys' growing levels of insanity and parania. There was no real beast; one was the corpse of a soldier, the other a pig head on a stick. When Simon comes to understand that the beast on top of the mountain is only a deceased pilot, he foes to tell the others. The insanity and blood lust that ensues is what kills Simon. The beast reveals human mature in it's wild state and about the primitiveness that dwells deep within us all. (I hope you don't mind my round-about way of answering your question, I felt compelled to go much more in depth than what was expected.)

According to jack how is the beast able to deceive the boys and be harder to recognize?
To quote directly from what Jack said in chapter 10, The Shell and the Glasses... "He came--- disguised. He may come again even though we gave him the head of our kill to eat. So watch; and be careful."According to Jack the beast is able to deceive the boys because he was wearing a disguise. He tells the boys the beast will be harder to recognize because he will continue to come in different disguises.

In lord of the flies Why does Jack deny that the beast is dead?
Jack needs the power of the beast in a couple of ways: as a common enemy for the boys to unite them; as a way to gain respect and to manipulate others as well as to satisfy his hunger for power; and as an excuse for hunting perhaps. Jack sort of became the spokesperson in the previous few chapters. He give offerings to it, tell others to leave it alone on 'the other side'. He is trying to make it more real for the others. Jack himself does not believe in the physical beast but is closer to the true beast- the capacity for evil in everyone, then everyone, even Simon. He is not afraid of it, as no one would use things they are uncertain or afraid of. if the beast is dead, he will loose power. Therefore even though he consciously recognize the murder of Simon though he hides it from the others. No one could stop him from using the beast now that Simon has died. He could make the beast immortal.
