pets and pets: elephants, which the beasts of
burden and friends of the people of India tigers and

hand of calmness and command; pet mice and rats
trained feas and intellectual flies.
But my pet though the fly is giant to him, and
the flea monster, is as sagacious the elephant,
and in the tiny world in which he lives quite
ageous the lion the tiger. To the naked eye
this little animal the paramecium is hardly visible;
but he sails the seas of his home-stagnant waters
and pools-as bravely as a buccaneer. He has no
home port and he cruises fearessy of monsters
billions of times his SIZE to many of whom he with
several millions of his fellows would make accept
able mouthful. Usually he is regarded an organ
ism fit only to be studied by the zoologist and
written about in dusty textbooks and not as pet
to be played with.
But in the years that l have kept my parameca,
watching their habits and noting their behavior,
have found them most interesting pets What do
they look like? Imagine a transparent cigar, SO
small as to seem but a speck to the naked eye,
covered with small hair like ella which wave about
like little fish tails-think of it charged with
getic life-and there you have the, paramecum.
