              Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing
Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in
his cell.   On his body they found seven regular straight pins
whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or
1.17 millimeters in diameter.   Under 500 magnification it was
found that the tiny etchings seen  on the heads of the pins
were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and
254 letters long.   Of the seven pins, six were silver and one
was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true
masterpiece.  Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life
creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the
naked eye.  It is estimated that it took 1,863 sepatate carving
strokes to make it.   Schiller went blind because of his
artwork.
