"a metal The result Of this whole process
is seen in Figure 6. And this was long 'he
flag Of England.
At the beginning Of this century Ireland was
added to the union. 1t then desired 70 auo
the cross of St Patrick to the Union JACK. Inc
cross of St Patrick was and u.s. red saitier
on a white field as in Figure /. Inc pu"%'c
was how to place this on the flag. Tor IL was
desired for the sake Of impartiality. that all
three crosses should be Of the same "id'h.
But If the cross II St Patrick we're piaced
upon the flag it would exactly cover up ana
hide the cross Of St Andrew. The diflculty
was overcome in the following manner: Inc
cross Of St Patrick ia supposed to be laid over
the cross of St Andrew. which it exactly covers.
Then half Of each arm of the red cross OF 81.
Patrick is cut away. so as to show the white
cross Of st Andrew beneath it. The result IS
shown in Figure =. Now comes again the oId
trouble that the red Of the cross OF 81. rat
rick rests against the blue field IF the cross OF
81 An1rcw-color charged upon color, contrary
- the Law Of heraldry. The remedy is also the
Old one imbriati0n: narrow white border
is placed between the red Of the cross ~ st
Patrick and the blue III the field 1t Is to be
noted that this iimbriation is no part Of the
cross. It Is merely division. and the little
pace that it occupies comes out Of the field
not out OF the space allotted to the diagonal
crosses. or. rather the combination Of the two
diagonal crosses. The result of this process
IS illustrated in Figure o
ITO this" said the designers Of the flag. we
will ada th" cross Of st George. as it appeared
when combined with IN" cross Of St Andrew
simply and We shall have our Union Jack"
Iut do you think that the matter was settled
A. easily as that? Not at all Not at all, The
King sent his order for the proper making Of
the Union Jack. and. that there might be no
mistake an artist was employed 10 make a
sketch Of tn" design on the margin Of the order
And as. apparently. no description Of the Union
Jack nls eyer been written until this present

Doubtless the hasmaker makes them right nut
the draughtsman who illustrated his circular
got them wrong.
The inves gator remembered that he had
seen an account Of the Union Jack in an Eng

at the library going through The Mes OF the

And now. after all this preamble. what is the
English flag? once upon a time thu cross of
st George the recognized emblem of Eng
land. II was and Is an upright red cross On
"A white field It is shown in Figure =; In
those days. also. there VAS a cross ~ France
which was also upright. white. on "A blue field
In the rcigns Of Henry and VI it is said tina,
a flag vas used which combined the crosses Of
France and st. George This was done 10y
charging the red of ST. George the
white cross Of France. the Who'll. being placed
on the blue field. The result is seen in Figure 1.
This flag should be- remembered for future ref
erence
In those days also there was "A cross Of st
Andrew 1t was. and Is. a white diagonal cross.
known in heraldry as n saltier. blu" field.
IL will be- observed in Figure >. At the time OF
the union Of England and Scotland ii was de-
sired to make "A flag which should combine the
crosses Of St George and st. Andrew. In order
To do this the blue flag with the white saticr
Of St Andrew was taken AZ n basis tFigure -.
and upon this charged the red upright
cross Of st. George The two crosses were to
be- 81 the same width. But 1t is a rule Of Eng
lish heraldry that color must never be- charged
upon color nor metal upon metal. Therefore
the red cross OF St. George could not be al
lowed to come against the blue field of the
flag II ST Andrew. To avoid this the cross
Of St George was iimbriated. that is bordered
with a narrow margin OF white. In hcraldry
white is regarded the same as silver and counts

others say that ne meant 10 preserve the mem

St George charged upon IT, as in Figure !.
That is why you were asked 10 remember that
flag for future reference. At any rate there
was the wide border The hagmakcrs followed
the drawing wide border and all. and flag
makers eyer since have followed the example.
in this respect however they have departed
from 1t in others and the wide border is now
a part Of the nag. by general acceptance and
usage And thus is made the Union Jack
Figure 10.
Surely i, is now clear how the flag came to
be- made up in the peculiar and at first sight
puzzng manner that IT is To the casual eye
the diagonal cross looks like red cross with
white border wider side or each arm
than on the other And now do you want to
know how you always remember which
side OF each arm has the wide border and
which the narrow Just commit to memory the
following beautiful poem:
Where the sun goes
The light grows.
The light means the white stripes and the poem
means that II you follow the design OF the flag
around in the direction In which the sun moves
you will come first to the narrow white border
and then to the wide one each arm. This Is the
when the flag Is represented as waving to
the right from It's star as in all these diagrams.
II the wind Is the other way the rule works the
other way. too. being good rule.
This is the flag of England. The navy and
other special branches Of the service have their
own flags and standards. but this Is the flag OF
the country the civilians flag. the flag for gem
eral use on land. the flag for the decoration Of
the houses Of loyal subjects on days Of celebra-
ton. the English coIors. This Is the Union Jack

To and TO say that both these and half a
dozen other forms were wrong WAS easy. II was
not easy to find out just what was right AT
first the investigator turned confidently to the
pictures in the dictionaries. To his astonish-
ment every one Of them was wrong in some
respect. and some Of them wrong in sew
eral respects. And when they were found to be
wrong in one thing. Of course they were not
to be trusted in anything. Then he tried the
cyclopadas. They were better. but not ats
factory. The descriptions which they gave were
incomplete or obscure, and the diagrams
printed did not agree with the descriptions.
The investigator began to get impatient and
then angry. He thought Of giving the whole
thing up. and then decided to keep on. since he
had begun. A friend who pitied his suffcrings
t7ied to help him out by giving him circular

circular had the Union Jack printed wrong.
