ALLIGATOR OIL.—A letter from St. Augustine, dated
April 12, says :—" I suppose that you may not have heard
that we have discovered the utility of alligators. An alligator
is found to be as valuable in his way as a spermaceti
whale. An expedition has left this place for the river
Of St. John's, and the dark tributary stream of Black
Creek, swarming with these hideous creatures, with the
view of killing them to obtain their oil. The oil of the
alligator Is said to be better for lamps than even whale
oil, and it is extracted from the animal in considerable
quantity, and without any great difficulty. For this dis-
covery we are indebted to the Indians, who have been in
the habit of extracting the oil of the alligator and using
it for various purposes. It makes a fine transparent fluid,
and burns admirably, You know how many of these
enormous animals are shot out of wantonness from the
decks of the steam- boats that plough our waters. I ex-
pect hereafter to hear of laws passed for their protection.
Every time an alligator of eighteen feet long is shot in
the long grass of the river banks, or while he is swimming,
a barrel, or half a barrel of oil, as the case may be, is
wasted. This should not be. We must allow them to be
killed only at a proper season, when they arc fattest, and not
permit their destruction at the season when they lay their
eggs. The alligator is a formidable-looking creature, it is
true, but he is generally harmless. His office is to prowl in
the sluggish waters of this southern region, pick up what he
can anddigest it into excellent oil for the illumination of our
houses. Alligators will be hereafter esteemed as useful ani-
mals as pigs—perhaps more so, for their keeping costs nothing.
The danger is, that now that the world has discovered what
they are good for, their race will be exterminated.-11fontreal
