This example can not place a long table across pages. 
I think I must explain my question more clearly. I have
a long table, may need five pages to place it. In each
page, I want a head line which give the definition
of each column in the table. And, also a tail line
at the end of each page except the last page which
indicate the table will be continuing in the next page.
for example, a three pages table as follows:

page 1:

         Table 1.1   City data              <---- table caption
------------------------------------------
      City    Latitude   Longitude          <----- head line
------------------------------------------
     Beijing  39.906111  116.387778
     ...      ...        ...                <----- table body

------------------------------------------ 
                        See next page ...    <---- tail line  
                                             <---- end of page 1

page 2:

------------------------------------------                                      
      City     Latitude   Longitude                                              
------------------------------------------     
      Shanghai 31.247778  121.4725
      ...      ...        ...
------------------------------------------                                      
                        See next page ...                                       
                                             <---- end of page 2

page 3:
------------------------------------------                                      
      City     Latitude   Longitude
------------------------------------------          
      Xian     34.265556  108.883333
      ...      ...        ...
------------------------------------------   
                                             <---- end of table.
                                                   and no tail line

Regards,

Wang
