Since no known observer with knowledge of the system has been present of a Silex initial, I don't think we have any idea as to what (if anything) Celestine might do just _before_ Silex. Clearly, though, Celestine Pool is active during and for a while following (specifically how long, I don't know) active episodes by Silex. At these times, Celestine undergoes frequent (interval usually much less than 1 minute, duration a few seconds) superheated boiling, and this is punctuated by surging and bursting as high as 2 or 3, maybe 4, feet. So far as I've been able to tell, this action is dependent on the activity of Silex and NOT on the volume of flow into it... It is in this fashion that I have guesstimated (to the extent of "early in the night" versus "late" -- this is certainly extremely approximate) when Silex might have been active overnight based on the vigor of Celestine... When Silex has been inactive for several hours or more, Celestine does little more than bubble so slightly that it can be difficult to see if there's any significant steam.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
