Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 515.2 Hz, 27 cents flat of C5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A paramecium is a living thing made of a single cell, shaped a bit like a slipper, that lives in ponds and puddles. It is covered in thousands of tiny hairs called cilia, which beat in waves like oars to row it through the water. A groove in its side sweeps in bacteria to eat.
Tap it and its cilia beat hard as it swims a full loop and comes back to where it was. A paramecium is just big enough to see with a magnifying glass, as a tiny moving speck.
