A dining table in a palace in Gwalior has a toy train running on it!
Gwalior is a city in Madhya Pradesh, India. It was a princely state ruled by the Scindias, a Maratha dynasty. The Scindias were a very wealthy royal family. The 5th ruler of Gwalior, Maharaja Sir Madho Rao Scindia loved machines and technology. So, he decided to install a toy train on the banquet table in his Jai Vilas palace! The maharaja ordered a toy train from the British company, Basset Lowke in 1906. The toy train engine was made of silver with carriages that carried crystal and silver decanters. He had special mini tracks laid on the table and the silver engine was soon chugging down the table. The train delivered cigars and various drinks to his guests.
Spiked dog collars were invented by the ancient Greeks!
The ancient Greeks used dogs to protect their livestock from
wild animals like wolves. Hence, the dogs were given leather collars with nails
studded in them to protect their neck from a bite of a wild animal!
